Aurora:

Thank you to all the people who offered up hosting space and servers. Aurora is completely covered at this point, its just a race against the clock to move all the files off linuxpower.org. Shouldn't be a problem.

Spent all my time today working on my prtdiag script. About all I can do for Aurora now is sit and wait for the installer work to be done. Well, that and poke the people who are working on it with sticks.

I know Xconfigurator needs some significant rewrites to deal with the Blades, but I really need one of them in a functional state (and sitting, attached to a monitor, in front of me) to do the work. Thus, this won't happen anytime soon.

I'm not terribly concerned with sun4c being vulnerable to forkbombs. The fact that it boots without eating you alive is miracle enough. If you're seriously trying to use it as a high yield mailserver, then you're sick enough to fix the code yourself.

I'm going to add mdadm to Aurora, even though Red Hat hasn't done so yet. Its proved its worth in migrating sparc 2.2 RAID to sparc 2.4 RAID.

Oh, and the Carolina Hurricanes are in the Stanley Cup Finals. How bout them apples? :)
