The downtime is scheduled to start on or around April 2nd, 2008 on or around 0001 UTC. After much deliberation, research and argument in #korg (along with screaming matches between HPA and I over dinner) we are upgrading the kernel.org machines from Fedora Core 5 to FreeBSD 7.0. This decision does not come lightly to the Kernel.org admins, and we would like to point out several key things that helped us form our decision: FreeBSD 7.0 Bests Linux in SMP Performance: http://bsd.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/03/06/1313218 http://people.freebsd.org/~kris/scaling/7.0%20Preview.pdf FreeBSD vs. Linux vs. Windows 2000 http://www.freebsd.org/maketing/os-comparison.html We feel that we can better serve our mirrors, our users and the community by making the switch, and we hope to have the transition done very shortly. - - John 'Warthog9' Hawley Kernel.org Admin -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFH8Ylc/E3kyWU9dicRAq9bAJ9h2lMO7abuLyhMQFsimqLVGGpcYgCfa4x1 xHRv2IOLKqMv3Ntmx5jentc= =pjFh -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
