==== Linux1,3,4,5 rebuilt with Ubuntu 20.04 ====
  - Linux2 is available for use right now.
  - linux1,2,3 are now available.
  - linux4,5 are now available.
  - All servers are back in the linux.cs round robin.
==== vdesk service is rebuilt ====
I expect the service to stay up, mostly. Nodes will be going up and down depending on when they get rebuilt so expect disconnections if you HAVE to use this service.

  * All login nodes upgraded without downtime of the service.
  * Short amount of downtime expected when upgrading the vdesk load balancer.
