I'm really happy with a dedicated server I rent from servermatrix.com. They have one for $119....

In a similar vein -- anyone have suggestions about colo facilities in the area? I have some 1U machines that I'd like to put up somewhere, but the colos I've found so far seem to be either really expensive or only allow a very small amount of bandwidth transfer (like 4KB/sec small -- I could just get a modem). -- Randomly Generated Tagline: "Snakes have no arms.

Post to the list a review if you try it. I personally am looking for a hosting solution for under $100/ month and the virtual servers seem to be the most economical now. What i personally need is full root access, 15+ GB of disk, 100+ GB of xfer, 256+M of RAM.

They are very good and will test the whole system for incompatabilities. We recently bought our first laptop from them and it has been pretty good, but it has only had light duty for a few months now. I highly reccommend them. PS if you are using it for meetings, you may not want to choose the Spartan laptop. The keys are a bit flimsy and lound but otherwise have good responsivness. Thanks Brian

I saw them at a Linux show last year... They had a booth there. They seem to have a decent spread of hardware, whether you want the system for Day-to-Day work or for specialized work (they had a laptop there, for example, that was rigged to do 3D! Very nice...). I agree that their prices are a little high, but given that most laptop hardware always seem to have a few "quirks", it may be worth it. > Being strapped for cash myself I decided to get a used laptop on Ebay > and trust my luck.

Re: [Wlug] openVPN??

by Karl Hiramoto

Yes, I have been using http://openvpn.net/ for about 6 months on a linux server. I switched from using pptp, and am very happy. It works much better with linux clients than pptp. For windows clients there is a gui interface, that is ok. But it was nice that pptp was built into windows.

Hello All, I am thinking about web/ssh/etc. hosting with vpsland.com. They host via Xen virtual machines. Has anyone had any experience with them? Does anyone use them currently? Does anything about them look fishy? Thanks, - Adam
