Subject: Pietenpol-List: Matronics Email List Web Server Upgrade Tonight... Dear Listers,This evening I will be upgrading the Matronics Web Server hardware to a new Quad-processor2.8Ghz Xeon system (yes, 4-physical CPUs!) with an Ultra 320 SCSIRaid 5 disk system and 5GB of DDR2 RAM. As with the older system, the new system will be running the latest version ofRedhat Linux. Most of the software configuration work is already done for themigration, but I still have to sync all of the archive and forum data from theold system to the new system. I am anticipating about 2 to 3 hours of downtimefor me to fully make the transition, although it could be considerable lessif everything goes according to plan.The Matronics Webserver will be *UNavailable* from the Internet during the work,and you will receive a time-out if you try to connect during the upgrade.Email List Distribution will be *available* during the upgrade of the Web Server,and List message distribution will function as normal.This represents a significant performance upgrade for the Matronics Web Serverand you should notice nicely improved searching and surfing performance followingthe upgrade!Best regards,Matt DralleMatronics Email List Administrator________________________________________________________________________________
