I have been running ping's and traceroutes for a week now and va gets 40%
packet loss pretty much all the time to me. This is new, it never was like
this in December.
Alot of people do have excellent connections to va, I belive VA's isp has
some direct links into alternet and so on. But their link to MCI seems
just horrid..
Perhaps we should nicely ask the va people to file a complaint with their
ISP? 40% packet loss is just -bad-.

I have some stats on apache at
http://www.debian.org/~jgg/debian.org.stats.html. We push about 100M a
day out of va.
I think all the primary sites should be under our control, it seems to
make things much simpler, that and our machines appear to have excellent
uptimes :>

Master could be happier with a faster processor, but it seems to manage as
is.

This just needs to be well connected and needs about 20 meg of disk space
to run qmail on. Master seems to do quite well as list server..

Joey runs powerpc.debian.org which everyone should have logins on. It is
a compile machine in germany

Before va got so slow it was an excellent machine to use during the
evening hours, during the day it was a bit kicky. I easially got 80ms ping
times with no packet loss back then :<
