Hello, ftp.scientificlinux.org will be moving to a new server tomorrow morning (Aug. 12, 2004) sometime between 8:00 and 9:00 CST. This is really just an alias change. The alias is currently pointing to linux21.fnal.gov, and it will be moved to linux03.fnal.gov Why? linux21 has been having problems when under a high load. It also was very close to running out of disk space. linux03 seems to be more reliable and has much more disk space. How does this affect me? If you always use the alias ftp.scientificlinux.org you should not see any difference when you go there for Scientific Linux items. If you have been going to ftp.scientificlinux.org to get Fermi Linux stuff you will see a difference. All the Fermi Linux stuff has been moved to the directory /linux/fermi/. So if you are going to be getting Fermi Linux LTS 301, then you would go to /linux/fermi/lts301/ instead of /linux/lts301. So Why Tell Me? Since this is a DNS change, it sometimes takes a while for the change to propogate across the world. So there might be some time where you connect to the ftp.scientificlinux.org from one spot, (let's say germany) and you'll be on one server, and then you'll connect from somewhere else (let's say australia), and you'll be on the other server. Sometime's this confuses people. If you have any problems, please let me know.
