I remember the That's a different server. Yyou're talking about ftp.freesoftware.com now and it has no official connection to the FreeBSD Project at this point. It's not even a current mirror of freebsd.org, though I'm sure it will be again if WindRiver decides to keep it going and the requisite bandwidth can be obtained. We just need to figure out some way of sustaining the costs without it being stupid. ftp.freebsd.org lives in Denmark now and is a completely different machine. In time, I strongly suspect that it also won't even be one single machine you can point to but a cluster of them. If Yahoo! should ever start looking shaky, not that I honestly expect that to happen, I'm sure the same will become true for the other relevent *.freebsd.org resources which require additional agility. > 'Low enough' in what sense?

California, though that's hardly the only job market for good engineers. I hear things are pretty good in Holland these days too. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
