[LRFlex] LRflex will be Off-Line this Saturday.

All:

Freeelists is improving their servers, to provide us with better service.

Migration to the new server will begin on Saturday the 22nd, starting at about 9am, Eastern time. It's a complicated process and they do expect there to be bumps along the way. However, they plant to have everything operational by mid-afternoon. During that time, of course, FreeLists' services will be unavailable.

Service should be much improved after the upgrade, but I ask that you not send mail to the list on Saturday, until you start to receive posts after mid-day. This will reduce the load on freelists' during the transition.

Thanks.

For the geeks and gearheads amongst us, since 2001, Freeelists been running on a custom-built server with 512MB RAM, two PIII/800 cpu's and some fairly slow storage.

The new server will be a HP DL585 with 2 Opteron 850's and 2GB RAM. The server also provides for upgradeability -- two more CPU's and another 62GB of memory can be added, if/when needed.

Again, Freelists will be 'down' from early Saturday (depending on where you are in the world) until mid to late afternoon, this coming Saturday.

Best regards,

David & Xavier.
