The machine is a PC-class box, with a few extra tidbits like RAID1
filesystems, so we're protected from an individual hard drive going.
I'm currently backing up the box once a week to another machine on the
network. Special arrangements can be made for the CVS repository if
necessary.

Actually, this is a loaded question. Shaftnet lives in the office of a
Research Professor at Georgia Tech, and as such has obscene amounts of
bandwidth and a very rliable network at its disposal. The guy's
research team/office/labs has to move to a different building around
Christmas, so there's going to be some kind of a hiccup there.
So for "technical" availability, it's pretty solid. Academic political
squabbles, on the other hand.. The guy is, shall we say "out of favor"
with his school's new dean. I was actually planning on moving shaftnet
down to Florida to sit in my office. Decent bandwidth, but nothing
compared to the multiple OC-3s (and Internet2) at Tech. However, the
current situtaion's improved a bit, and his job is secure until at leat
summer '03.
(shafnet does mail/dns/web/shells for about 70 people, it _will_ live
on, cvs or no cvs... :)

Savannah I know little about, but I don't question the Gnu Project/FSF
[long-term] motives.
