As nobody is presently utilizing ubuntu.eskimo.com, I am going to take it down briefly to move it to a different server in order to clear virtual.eskimo.com, the existing physical host computer, for hardware and software upgrades.
The expected downtime will be approximately 45 minutes. It should be back online around 2:15pm Pacific time. In the meantime, if you need a Debian based shell server, debian.eskimo.com and mint.eskimo.com are available.
