Farewell to the old Audifans server

[Kurt Deschler]

Dan,
What was the longest uptime for the old machine? Sparc is a great
architecture. My 10 year old U2 (64-bit 2x400) got its first re-boot in
almost a year only because it was easier to re-configure the network that
way. I have seen Suns at work run for many years without a reboot. What is
the new machine/OS/webserver? (please don't say wintel/iis!!) As for the
old machine, any chance of hosting audifans.com email accounts? I bet it
would make a good IMAP server.
