hosting company -- heh

There is not a hosting company -- it is in donated bandwidth
with donated admin. A call to the site rep where is is for an
assist was placed at 0800 today, and I have not heard back.

But as another donation to the community, it also it also
handles the streaming access for a public radio station. I
assure you it has some priority on getting attention from the
station admin.

Feel free to write a chack for commercial hosting if you want
SLA's -- or ... there has been a call, ignored, for ram,
processor, and a replacement for hardware on the website for
over two years with no-one ponying up. (the unit is a P120
with a 128M stick _I_ bought back when they were rather
pricey)

Off hosts backups of the SLUG and other sites on that host
exist, and I may roll back to them.

The box was moved from RHL 7.2 to 8.0 last week, and there is
a python bug which is eating all memory and killing the kernel
which I am tracking down. Two sticks of 168 pin 512-100s
might work as well. But then if there is a code memory leay
neing exposed, maybe not.

But a zero cost solution is probably the road I'll take for
the present. I may simply move it to RHL 9 instead.
