Re: security.debian.org down

[Pieter-Paul Spiertz <pspiertz@sci.kun.nl>]

Hi,

it has been confirmed that the Twente University server rooms have now
completely burned down. This means, {security,non-us,nm,qa}.debian.org
and ftp.snt.utwente.nl are now lost. Rest in peace...

To translate and summarize http://www.webwereld.nl/nieuws/13242.phtml:
"The fire started a little after 8AM CET. There are no casualties.
The near Dutch-German internet exchange will take over some of the SURFnet
activities. The network will probably be up again tomorrow, with help from HP.
A new server room in another building was already being prepared anyway for
use next month..."

And yes, also in the Netherlands it's highly unusual that such a fire
happens.


Regards,
Pieter-Paul
