From: "Theodore Ts'o" < tytso@MIT.EDU> Newsgroups: comp.os.linux.announce Subject: Many thanks to John Romkey. TSX-11.MIT.EDU now has a new disk!! Date: 18 Nov 1994 08:43:59 +0200 Approved: linux-announce@tc.cornell.edu (Lars Wirzenius) Message-ID: <3ahiff$pu3@kruuna.Helsinki.FI> Hi, As some of you may know, recently tsx-11.mit.edu had been suffering from a shortage of disk space. Well, John Romkey stepped forward, and graciously donated a 3.5 gigabyte disk for tsx-11. It was installed early last week, and so we no longer have a disk space problem! The new disk is a godsend, and I want to publically thank John Romkey for making it possible for tsx-11 to grow and support more distributions, and more software packages. I also want to think the expressions of support that I have received from you all out on the Net. Unfortunately, due to my being heavily swamped at work, I haven't necessarily had the time to respond to you all personally. Some of you had also offered to donate some money towards a new disk, and I thank you for your spirit of generousity. If you are still inclined to donate some money, I urge you to consider donating money to Linux International's Linux Development Fund. If on the other hand you would like to donate money towards specifically furthering tsx-11.mit.edu as a FTP site, I will also accept donations towards upgrading the CPU of tsx-11. It's currently a Decstation 5000/25(*), and it could definitely stand to be upgraded to something a bit more modern and with more horsepower. This would allow it to serve a lot more simultaneous users and reduce the number of "too many users; try again later" messages that many of you have experienced. Finally, I also want to thank all of the people who have helped in maintaining the tsx-11 FTP site --- I couldn't possibly handle it by myself! Despite their many other commitments, they put in the volunteer time to handling incoming submissions to tsx-11, and it is they who, more than any one else, make tsx-11 the valuable resource to the Linux community that it is. Thank you, one and all!!! - Ted (*) Yes, tsx-11 was at one point my personal workstation; it's now doing nothing else but serving FTP now! I have a Sparcstation-5 in front of me, that I use for doing my MIT development work on Kerberos. -- Send submissions for comp.os.linux.announce to: linux-announce@tc.cornell.edu PLEASE remember Keywords: and a short description of the software.
