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."

    Wouldn't you just love to see the news stories that CmdrTaco reject this morning in favor of this one?

    I would love to see the rejected stories. Slashdot should publish rejected stories via a voluntary feed, and let us (the readership) choose what is important and interesting or not. Obviously it would be vulnerable to spamming and trolling, but both could largely be taken care of with a half decent bayesian filter.

    Come on Taco - do it.
