Re: debian friendly unmanaged hosting joints?

After seeing the responses, I feel it's appropriate that I apologize to the list. While I feel my post was justified in that I was answering a legitimate question, I probably should have been more sensitive to the fact that Jason brought up -- we are almost all affiliated with an ISP or hosting company or whatever on this list, and a certain amount of respect ought to go along with what we as members post. 

My apologies to you all.

Thanks-
Eric

Well, you have to commend Mark's honesty. He did say, "I really didn't
want to use this excellent mailing list as a sales platform."  And he
answered the question.

It's better than being subversive and saying something like, "I am a
_very_ _happy_ customer of company XYZ.  They rule!!!!"

We're pretty much all offering Debian here as part of our services,

I don't think anyone minds a line or two mentioning your company, cool... 
but the whole email with paragraphs worth of promotions?

I really didn't want to use this excellent mailing list as a sales
platform, but it seems like there are several interested parties
looking for Debian-specific dedicated/managed hosting stateside.

Our firm does just that.  We are Debian-specific, in that we really
don't promote other distros or OSes nearly as much (only if

requested).

 Pricing is $195/mo. for 30 GB of bandwidth.  Full data-center
amenities, such as 10 day battery backup, diesel generator backup,

dual

DS-3 capacity, environmental control, etc.

With our dedicated server packages, we also give you access to your

own

power control so you can power-cycle your server as you see fit.  We
will also do full monitoring of ports/services/intrusion and nightly
backup, if you so desire, (although most on this list seem like

they're

perfectly capable of doing that themselves.)

So that aside, feel free to contact me off-list if you'd like more
information. Our web site is currently being revamped, so some of the 
info on there is out of date.  Here's the contact info:

Eric Jennings
eric@loopshot.com
Loopshot, Inc.
http://www.loopshot.com
+1 (775) 856-3455

Once again, my apologies for those who may not be interested, but I
thought I'd mention it since several have asked about firms offering
Debian servers in the U.S.

Thanks-
Eric

The address works with or without the hyphen; with or without the

Not only that, but when chatting on #debian-uk one night, I got

service I had,
that just cropped up in the course of conversation.

Very, very "Debian", all round.
