yup. between the move and end of term stuff i haven't been following this
too closely, but all they wanted done is for someone from cluster to come
by and pick up their old decstation (alberti.mit.edu) and remove it. as
far as i know, they don't even want it replaced by anything else.
once the name "alberti" is free, they want it set up as a cname to their
new webserver, loohooloo.mit.edu.
if the two could be coordinated to happen on the same day, that would
probably be best, so that people who try to connect to alberti won't lose
for too long.
the old decstation was also the school of architecture web server, but at
this point everything has been backed up and moved to loohooloo. the
external drive connected to alberti can be disconnected when the machine
is taken down. all the data on it has been backed up.
hope that sheds some light.
cheers,
oliver
