From: "Jordan K. Hubbard" <jkh@time.cdrom.com> Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.announce Subject: freefall is now a P6/200 with 128MB of memory. Date: 22 Apr 1997 15:50:40 -0500 Organization: FreeBSD Project Lines: 26 Sender: daemon@taronga.com Approved: peter@taronga.com Message-ID: <5jj8b0$smc@bonkers.taronga.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: localhost.taronga.com Path: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au!newshost.carno.net.au!harbinger.cc.monash.edu.au!munnari.OZ.AU!news.Hawaii.Edu!news.lava.net!news.flex.com!www.nntp.primenet.com!nntp.primenet.com!mr.net!news.radio.cz!CESspool!europa.clark.net!newsfeed2!swrinde!news.uh.edu!bonkers!not-for-mail Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.announce:536 Thanks to the generous donations of those listed at: http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/donors.html Freefall.freebsd.org, our venerable P5/90 machine w/64MB memory (which has served us faithfully for these last 3+ years but was seriously running out of steam), is now a Pentium Pro/200Mhz (256K cache) system with 128MB of memory and 12GB of fast disk storage. We expect that this will significantly enhance our development environment, making many of the very expensive CVS operations which brought the old freefall somewhat to its knees significantly less painful. The old freefall has also been renamed to "hub.freebsd.org" and will take over all mailing list duties, thus sparing us from having to fight through that daily load as well. Thanks again to all those who's contributions made this possible! Our first 2 machines were provided through the generosity of Walnut Creek CDROM and now this, our 3rd and most powerful machine, has been provided directly by the users of FreeBSD. I think that's an important milestone! Jordan
