Hi All,

Got this info from another list. Thought that it would interest some of
you.

Pieter-Paul Spiertz posted a this summary to debian-devel announcing
the fact that all Debian  machines located at the University of Twente,
The Netherlands have been destroyed by a massive fire. This includes
satie.debian.org which hosts security.debian.org and non-us.debian.org

in Twente, The Netherlands.. :(

( {security,non-us,nm,qa}.debian.org (satie), ftp.snt.utwente.nl )

In follow-up of the news below, [1] strongly suggested 15 minutes ago
that the entire computer network has now burned down by fire. And
SURFnet just said: "There is a big fire on the university network in
Enschede. The room where SURFnet network hardware stands has been given
up by firemen. So, we have to give it up as well. PoP Enschede is down.
It is unknown how long this is going to take.
