[netperf-talk] Netperf.org back online - at least partially - and will be down again December 1st

[Rick Jones]

Folks -

Having confirmed that my expertise lies not in system administration, by taking 
entirely too long to bring netperf.org back online, I *think* I have netperf.org 
back online.  I believe one can access the repository, and if you are reading 
this email it also means that the mailing lists are working again.

I do know that I don't have the FTP stuff going yet, but hope to take care of 
that soonly.

For those curious, netperf.org has transitioned from an HP 9000 Model A500 
running a PA-RISC Debian to an HP ProLiant DL385 G2 running Ubuntu Karmic Koala 
(yes, I do tend to run on old and/or obsolete hardware :).  It also has RAID 
protection on the discs...  and I do plan on setting-up a backup for the mailing 
lists, repositories and website :)

If you encounter issues accessing netperf.org, please feel free to contact me.

happy benchmarking,

rick jones

PS - having finally gotten netperf.org online again, there will be a power 
shutdown in its hosting machine room at 1700 hours on December 1st, 2009, U.S. 
Pacific time.  Figures...
