Well, here's another cloud: I received the following message from VA this
morning:
"The order you recently placed for
a Pre configured VA Linux 2230 System
will not be fulfilled due to the limited
inventory of the product. It is unfortunate
that we were not able to remove the offering
from our web site simultaneously with the
exhaustion of inventory.
We apologize for the delay in notification
and for any inconvenience this limited
availability may cause."
So FreeLists won't be getting a VA machine after all. :( I'll have to
talk it over with the others here, because I'd still like to buy us a new
system with some better redundancy and whatnot, but I can't afford it
personally, so not getting this deal with VA makes it too expensive.
We'll see what we can pull together though.
In the meantime, the current system should still do nicely.
John
