for all those doing apt-get update and getting errors... ----- Forwarded message from Wichert Akkerman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -----
At around 8 this morning (local time) a fire started in the computing facilities of Twente University. This affects Debian, since on of our servers (satie) is hosted there. At this moment it seems very likely that the machine can not be recovered from the fire. The following services are currently down as a result of this: security.debian.org non-us.debian.org nm.debian.org qa.debian.org We are working to restoring these services on another machine and hope to have things in mostly working order by tomorrow. Security advisories are still available at http://www.debian.org/security/ ----- End forwarded message ----- remember the good old days, when the kernel featured errors like "lp1 is on fire"? not funny. Reminds me of the time when I was working at InternetZahav YM"Sh, and the secondary DNS stopped responding. I called the secondary site to talk to the idiot sitting at the NOC. "Ha-DNS nafal", I said, but he didn't know which machine it was. I had to drive there, where I found that the poor sparc pizza physically FELL from the top of a 19" cabinet (wasn't screwed in place) onto and under the half-dismetaled floating floor of the computer room that was under construction at the time. oddly enough, the box was put on the shelf, switched on and worked without even a manual fsck. and then there was the time with the Ultrix machine and the Baobab tree, but that's for a different time... -- Alien experiment gone wrong Ira Abramov http://ira.abramov.org/email/ This post is encrypted twice with ROT-13.
