FYI (since Sean is probably catching a few hours' sleep), everything Firebird uses is in dire straits. A few days after the Atkin mail server came up (albeit briefly), the NAS server started to die. It has been gradually self-destructing for the past two days. We have to rebuild *everything* - Tracker, wiki and webserver - from backups.

At the moment the webserver is still serving pages but nobody can get in to update anything. It is expected to die soon, too, some time in the next few hours.

Right now a discussion is going on in the Admins list to determine which Linux version will be used for the new VMs. Keep watch here for further information that will appear when there's something to tell.
