So all have new kernels except for those that don't boot with a stock kernel (which is now most of them - something to do with SSDs). * Mylah needs a new disk. The disks that keep getting dropped are not the system disks, so there's no risk of losing mussel at the moment.

Network * We can now confirm that the 100 megabit media converter still speaks 100 megabit, and not 1 gigabit. * Uplink still needs to be tested properly, working with [MTL]. * [MRD] has a quote for powering the 4507R. * [MRD] estimates that fiber will cost roughly $1350.
