Over the next week or so, I plan to upgrade the operating system on
all the trusted research alphas to Digital UNIX 4.0d. This will
affect the following machines:
gale
flood
hurricane
squall
hail
sleet
snow
I plan to give about an hour's warning before I upgrade each machine.
Each machine will be down for about an hour while its upgraded. As a
consequence of the upgrade, all files in local temporary directories
(eg, /tmp, /var/tmp, /usr/tmp) will be lost.
If the timing of this presents a problem, please contact me.
