redhat.com, gnome.org, and freshmeat.net will all be offline
until Red Hat gets the power back.

Sorry to announce, but we’ve just had a major power outage
here in RTP and RH will likely be making an exit from the Internet
for some time period. We apologize for this.

Please, no comments about “they can afford a generator”. We
were in the process of working on fixing that problem now. We just
got caught before it could happen. 🙁

I have no ETA on our exit or re-entrance.
