New webserver software has been installed to all servers.  The change was
made in a compatible way, your web sites should not be affected.

The most noticeable changes are

 - PHP3 scripting language is now supported.  Use the file extension
   .php3 for your scripts.  See http://www.php.net for more information.
   PHP2 (aka php/fi) can still be used with file extensions .php and
   .phtml.  But please note: upgrade your scripts to php3 as php2
   is no longer being developed and will be discontinued soon.
   PHP3 also has excellent database support, if you are a database
   programmer, you should take a look. 

 - apache modules mod_rewrite and mod_actions have been added
   this allows sophisticated users to do many special tricks on
   their web space.  See http://www.apache.org/ for more details

If you have any questions dont hesistate to ask.
