Fire at Twente, satie and more lost (fwd)
Hi,
with sadness I have to announce the death of all Debian boxes located
in Twente, The Netherlands.. :(
( {security,non-us,nm,qa}.debian.org (satie), ftp.snt.utwente.nl )
In follow-up of the news below, [1] strongly suggested 15 minutes ago
that the entire computer network has now burned down by fire. And
SURFnet just said: "There is a big fire on the university network in Enschede.
The room where SURFnet network hardware stands has been given up by firemen.
So, we have to give it up as well. PoP Enschede is down. It is unknown how long
this is going to take."

subscribed to the digested edition)

Hi,
security.debian.org (aka non-us.debian.org aka satie.debian.org) and
ftp.snt.utwente.nl are down, due to fire in Twente University.
It's not at all lost yet, that would be a major blame. The Surfnet
trouble tickets say that All computers in the building have been turned
off, that's all - yet.
No need to panic, #debian-devel on IRC has already been notified and
the security team will pick up on it.
Regards,
Pieter-Paul Spiertz
