Hi all,
Vipe, the server that holds Haifux, was suddently removed from the
Technion's network due to changes in the place where it was working about
1.5 months ago. The network facilities were removed from the place without
our notice, and getting the server out was impossible. Finally I was able
to the HDs of Vipe with a permission and move them into another server.
I had to go through a lot of Technion's beaurocratics to do that.
I won't have time to do anything for this Monday, and unless someone else
wants to take this mission - I ask people to suggest an interesting
lecture if they have something in their minds, and I will get us a class
for October 16th (Monday).
Last but not least -- Vipe itself and its (very old SCSI) HDs are 8 years
old, and Vipe the server actually showed signs of death, and I was quite
lucky to find another same server with the same configuration, and to put
the HDs there, but this is also going to be a temporary solution, as I
might have to put the HDs back. I am going to create an image from vipe,
and a few more people will get the info out of vipe so it will sit
elsewhere too as a backup.
If anyone is able to donate a server for Haifux, so we will keep an active
Haifux with our own lectures, projects and stuff stored in a dedicated
Linux server at least for the next 8 years, I will be glad to hear about
such a thing. I have a place in the Technion where such a server can be
hosted, so both Haifux and Vipe will continue.
Best regards,
Adir.
