I'm not Brian - but I can at least provide a brief update. The build
machine is toast (at least from a software point-of-view). Since we
haven't been able to keep it running in a stable manner, and it's a
rather old install anyway, we're going to do a complete re-install of
the latest Ubuntu.
This is a volunteer effort, and some of the team are travelling, so it's
taking some time to do this. To be honest, I have no precise estimate
to offer. As soon as possible.

We have a great infrastructure team (we're hosted right alongside sites
like kernel.org), and short of adding more hours to a day, I can't think
of anything that would help in the short term. Long-term, however,
there are costs associated with maintaining our presence at such an
excellent facility -- a few dollars here and there will help defray
those costs and keep us running. (See the www.nslu2-linux.org site for
the "donate" link.)
