Frost is officially offline for the first time since september 2002. A good long run (2.5 years). I dropped Janus in tonight as the replacement (133mhz:80mb to 166mhz:128mb). Which probably doesn't mean too much to any of you since the whole site and such has been moved to kvasir already, how ever frost was still providing limited public services in the form of a secondary dns for mindstab.net. And my personal firewall. That is all at an end tonight though. Janus has assumed all the responsibilities and seems to be working well so far. I'll play around with frost in the next little while to see if I can resurrect it as a menial spare firewall, but in the last month since the last power failure frost's been painfully slow, and I'm blaming it's harddrive (and hopefully that's all):
