The computer wouldn't stop crashing, and we were down until approximately 12:30 UTC today, when I got some new hardware up. Hopefully, the new hardware will prevent new crashes. I'm also compiling a new kernel to make use of the new CPU -- I hadn't anticipated switching CPU types -- so we'll be down briefly around 15:00 UTC.
