[e-smith-devinfo] ftp.e-smith.org down?

I haven't been able to get to ftp.e-smith.org since about the time of the 6.0b1 announcement. I could understand the server being busy, but it's not even resolving any more. Has this been taken down, and if so, is there a replacement, or are we left with only the mirrors, with no master

Any chance you could redirect the .org to a mirror if the community were to set one up? Rackshack is offering 700GB/month transfer on a dedicated server for $99 and I bet we could run a site there on donations alone. Anyone interested in helping organize this if Mitel is ok with it? Mike Kelley

Is there a preferred way of referring to paths to download? I can, of course, just give URLs for a single mirror in the HOWTO, but that defeats the purpose of having lots of them. OTOH, directing the user to the mirrors list adds another level of complexity. You know the saying--if
