Re: debian friendly unmanaged hosting joints?
I just bought the hardware and installed Debian, then put it at a colo
site. That seems to go over pretty well. $100/mo, and they have someone to
push the button if necessary. They (www.cihost.com) have been having some
router issues recently, but if they every get those fixed . . .
This is my second colo provider, and for both I've just bought a box and
put it out there. For the first one. I used an old tower I had sitting
around. For this one, I had to buy a rack mount case. plinkusa.net sells
those pretty cheap but I have not tried them so am not suggesting you use
them. It is just that they sell for around $70 what others sell for $200.
If this idea appeals to you, let me know and I'll give you the spec's on
my box. It's been up for a couple of years and I haven't had to do
anything yet. I'm now getting paranoid that some of the hardware may die
eventually.

The good thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from.
