<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>To all CLX users,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>as we anticipated at the beginning of the
year,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>we are going to replace CLX with a new cluster,
BCX.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This mail is to inform you about the status of
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>installation of BCX and how we intend to
manage</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>the migration of the accounts.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We plan to end most of the installation
activities by</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>the end of this week, so that the new machine will
be</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>available for CLX users, </FONT><FONT face=Arial
size=2>starting from monday the 11th</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>of February. We do not know yet if we are able
to</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>open the machine to all users in one
shot, most</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>probably we will open the machine to one
group at a times.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In any case, all account will be opened on the
new machine </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>in few days.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>CLX will remain in operation at least until monday
the 25th</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>of February, so that there will be a period
where both the machines</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>will be open at the same time,
and </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>user will be able to make
login</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>onto </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>both the
machines too.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>More information will be given in next
days,</FONT></DIV>
