[AUUG-Talk]: Attention auug.org.au administrators

[Greg 'groggy' Lehey]

Copying AUUG-talk for the last time.  There are other lists copied;
please follow up there.

But it's there, and also a list for web administrators; copied.
Obviously we don't advertise them.

This is not exactly a cooperative approach.  I've already offered to
you to put you on the lists.  I doubt that there'll be much
opposition, but a little negotiation would go a long way.

Yes, probably, and it would certainly make the ports installation
several orders of magnitude easier.  The problem is that
www.auug.org.au isn't exactly a machine that would run Microsoft
"Vista":

  FreeBSD 4.7-STABLE #1: Sat Dec  7 07:53:33 CST 2002
      grog at wwy.auug.org.au:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC
  Timecounter "i8254"  frequency 1193182 Hz
  CPU: Pentium II/Pentium II Xeon/Celeron (466.72-MHz 686-class CPU)
    Origin = "GenuineIntel"  Id = 0x665  Stepping = 5
    Features=0x183f9ff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,MMX,FXSR>
  real memory  = 125816832 (122868K bytes)
  avail memory = 117227520 (114480K bytes)

It might even have memory issues with the latest release of FreeBSD.
A donation of a better machine (preferably from somebody in Adelaide)
would help; otherwise, I'd suggest we discuss the upgrade on the
appropriate lists.

David, I'll check tomorrow (if I have time; it seems there's some
festivity coming up) and put you on the list.  Of course, you have
access to the box, so you could do it yourself.
