Hey All,

Just a heads up the box is back up.  There's a few sundry items that
still need to be dealt with and there might still be another reboot in
the next couple of days but I'll send a separate e-mail if/when that has
to occur.

All in all things look good, and for the most part it went smoothly
(well other than the typical disaster that grub throws at me).

If you see anything amiss, please give me a holler or e-mail
ftpadmin@kernel.org with details.

Again thanks to Google and HP, specifically Chris DiBona and Bdale
Garbee, for the new box.  It is very nice.  If you get a chance cat
/proc/meminfo or cat /proc/cpuinfo - you won't be disappointed.
