== Server problems! ==
I'm experiencing some problems with the server. It started out with some minor glitch with version incompatabilities between different versions of glibc, and has now escalated and made the whole system unable to start any programs at all, you can not even log in to the system.

Since the system is so badly broken, I decided to replace the whole vserver guest system (like a big chroot) with a new one. All users files are however safe and will be waiting for their users on the new guest system.

I don't have any ETA for when everything will be up and running as usual, but I'm working on fixing the system right now. I'm also taking this opportunity to make some upgrades of lowlevel software and file system changes that I've been waiting to make.
