Greetings, and welcome to 1998

On to business...

Help Email:

rc5help@slacker.com is now rc5help@distributed.net
Please note this change.

Mailing Lists:

The mailing lists will be moving eventually to @lists.distributed.net
An announcement will go out when the change is made, but most likely if
you simply "Reply" to the list, you won't even notice the change.

DESII:

T-minus 1 week. v2.7 clients should be available soon.
Answers to several common questions:
You will not have to do anything special to do the
RC5 -> DES -> RC5 changeovers. The client will be coded to do
this automaticly, as they will have cores for both.
You won't be idle until we throw the DES switch, the client
will work on RC5 before and after.

<Nugget>
I am holding in my hands an Adaptec 2940UW scsi controller, graciously
donated by Scott Morgan. Also, in anticipation of the pending eyegive
money, we've gone ahead and ordered a 9Gb SCSI drive as well, which
should arrive later this week.

The ultimate goal is to build an entirely stand-alone machine to house
the stats. Obviously there are many components we lack. Currently,
there's a need for:

   * A motherboard and CPU
   * A case and power supply
   * a PCI video adapter
   * a PCI network adapter (10/100)
