I am making some major changes to the server presently.

The heart of this is a kernel rebuild to get on the latest stable release.

blacknode boot # uname -a ; uptime
Linux blacknode.net 2.6.19-gentoo-r5 #2 SMP Fri Feb 23 04:57:58 CST 2007 i686 AMD Athlon(TM) XP 2800+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux
01:54:34 up 319 days, 2:56, 2 users, load average: 1.40, 1.35, 0.94

The heightened load is attributed to the build process of linux-2.6.25.

Time to say goodbye to my epic uptime :( And hope that the server comes back up!
