[Nick Bannon]

Yes, morwong's being unhappy, presumably due to running out of swap at
some stage. Yes, we should re-arrange the disc a bit, it should be
relatively painless due to volume management and AdvFS, but we could
really do with some extra disc space from ebay...

If it's not done before tomorrow evening, I'll reboot it then.

Nick.

mowong is rather sucking atm ... unkillable processes holding onto
terminals is fucking over screen. Also stuff like cron and lpd was killed
when it last ran out of swap. Shall we wait until next weekend when the
power goes, or reboot it now?

Also, if there's any space unallocated on the disks, we could do with
more swap and a larger /

Ok, I've moved the xterms to mussel (which is running xdm). This will
default to GNOME unless the user has a .xsession file.
