Kernel.org Moves to Oregon

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the only-way-to-travel dept.

Bryce writes "Looks like the main kernel.org machine has moved to the Oregon State University Open Source Lab. "Last night, Peter Anvin took master.kernel.org (hera) down and handed it off to his friend, Javier. This morning, Javier flew it up here to Corvallis in his Cessna Skylane. This is the first time the OSL has had a server hand-delivered by plane, and so we were giddy as schoolgirls." Kees Cook, the senior IT guy at OSDL helped them get it installed and configured."

    I used to laugh at Microsoft's amateur network topology. They always made the mistake of clustering everything in to one place, where single points of failure would take out 3/4th of their net.

    So, we've got master.kernel.org along with what looks like an impressive part of mozilla.org... what else is going in there?
