When: 12/3/2003 EST
Duration: 5 - 45 minutes
Window: 1:00 AM to 4:00 AM EDT

Due to a recent security hole found in the Linux Kernel, we have patched up our Kernel and will be deploying the updated 2.4.23 release to all Community Servers... The reboots are set to take off within the next few minutes...

Downtime per server should be less than 5 minutes, unless I get hit with a fsck on the way back up... Then it could take about 20 minutes to perform that operation...

Thank you for your understanding as we work to keep our servers updated...
