   Hi ibiblio-announce,

   I'm writing to announce to upcoming system upgrades:

1) login.ibiblio.org will reboot tomorrow morning, November 11th around 
6:30 a.m. EST for a kernel upgrade - security and bug fixes.  Downtime 
should be less than two minutes.

2) This has been a long time coming, but we're finally upgrading 
mysql2.ibiblio.org to the most recent stable version of MySQL, 5.0.67.

   In addition to the MySQL upgrade itself, we hope this will translate 
into significant performance improvements:  the new mysql2.ibiblio.org 
will be a stand-alone 64-bit machine running the current RHEL-5.2, and 
this upgrade will split mysql2.ibiblio.org off from another service with 
which it had been sharing hardware.

   We hope to perform this upgrade at 6:00 a.m. EST on Monday, November 
17th.  We expect this upgrade to take two to three hours, all said.  A 
date and time link follows:
