I think people aren't quite reading what Tom is saying. The hardware
behind RubyForge is quality hardware and does not need replacement or
upgrading. It's just exceeded the MBTF for some portion of it. The
biggest thing people need to do is Calm Down a little -- RubyForge
will be back on-line as soon as possible.

Now, if GForge (the software behind RubyForge) can do failover
clustering, then it may be worthwhile looking toward diversifying the
RubyForge hardware environment (DB on one machine, GForge frontend on
another; failover to the DB machine if necessary) or something like
that.
