Hmmm...where is this blurb?  I must have missed something.  I'd 
just assumed the server was dead and knew nothing beyond that.

Ja, I'm thinking of having PlanetMirror be the main host for the 
Gestation archive.  It might be kind of odd having a "mirror" 
serving as our master repository, but it will work until we get 
our own broadband FTP server available.

Only problem I have, is I want to first figure out how to notify 
PlanetMirror when the master repository changes.  It wouldn't be 
good for skarpsey.dyndns.org to be listed as the master 
repository forever, even after ftp.inceptionos.org is up.

Also, it's probably a good idea to resume discussing on the 
mailing list. ;)
