freefall.FreeBSD.ORG AKA sup.FreeBSD.ORG is no longer providing sup services due to load problems. sup.FreeBSD.ORG now points to burka.rdy.com (aka sup3.FreeBSD.ORG) and should be ready for service as such just as soon as the DNS changes propagate. sup2.FreeBSD.ORG no longer exists, apparently, so now sup, sup2 and sup3 all point to the same machine (burka) until such time as we get more sup servers. Thanks to Dima Ruban for kindly providing what service we currently have now! freefall still provides CVSup services as cvsup.FreeBSD.ORG and people are encouraged to switch. CVSup is John Polstra's far more efficient and powerful sup replacement utility, and a far more efficient user of network bandwidth. With sup, anytime someone tagged the CVS tree Walnut Creek CDROM's T1 line would melt down as sup stupidly transfered *every single file* all over again, and FreeBSD's increasing popularity has made that situation no longer tolerable. For more information on CVSup, please see: ftp://freefall.FreeBSD.ORG/pub/CVSup Thanks! Jordan
