Afternoon everyone,


I and the other Kernel.org admins would like to announce downtime for

ALL kernel.org machines (this includes all of the mirror machines, the

public machines and the backend master).  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.

Highly commendable.  You should take this opportunity to also upgrade

network facilities to meet the requirements as laid out in RFC1149 (CPIP).

What about RFC1606? Maybe kernel should include a net/ipv9 branch.
