Just a quick update. I've gotten several e-mails asking when PLUG will be back
up. Rest assured, a lot of people have been helping with it. Here is the
current status.

Corey Edwards has graciously donated a server (thank you!). Jason Hall dropped
the server by my house today (thank you!). I have installed Linux, and managed
to get a full backup of the dying PLUG server copied over. I'm about half way
through the mail setup and general system config. I plan on dropping the new
server in place tomorrow, then working to restore services as an on-going
project (starting with the mailing list as highest priority) through next
week.

If anyone has any questions they can contact me off list: ryan at ryansimpkins
dot com.

Thank you for your patience. Expect intermittent service while the bugs get
worked out.

-Ryan

PS. The new server is a dual PIII 1Ghz and has 3 36GB SCSI drives in a RAID 5
(adaptec RAID controller). So hopefully it will be very unlikley that we go
through these pains again due to a failing hard drive. Unless we get really,
really lazy... which just might happen. Never mind. All bets are off. :-)
