The departmental servers coxeter, sphere, and the mail, web, and blog/wiki servers will have a few software updates applied during Wednesday afternoon (December 15, 2010) which at the moment do NOT require rebooting (that may change if additional updates appear by that day). Since the updates will be applied while the servers are still up there may be some temporary issues with some software (for example, we have already updated the important firefox, thunderbird, and acroread software). We hope that any issues will be minor and by doing the upgrading without bringing systems down that will be worth the potential minor problems. Please restart any programs if you observe problems during the upgrades (and please let us know so we can investigate).
