Which begs the question - are you aware of the Amazon EC2 free tier? Your own vps micro instance with 613 MB RAM, a choice of several virtual machines, ssh etc... do what the hell you like with it. Full root access is yours. I'm running Festival just fine, as well as 4 sites. I've built several things, I'm running apache+nginx+varnish. If it works, save it, if it doesn't, blow it away and start again. No charged. Gratis for a year. Had it 2 months now, no downtime, more than happy for free! Worth a shot - BUT... documentation from Amazon is sparse and you'll need to spend a few hours figuring things out. Hunt around for recent guides. http://aws.amazon.com/free/ 750 hours of Amazon EC2 Linux Micro Instance usage (613 MB of memory and 32-bit and 64-bit platform support) – enough hours to run continuously each month* 750 hours of an Elastic Load Balancer plus 15 GB data processing* 10 GB of Amazon Elastic Block Storage, plus 1 million I/Os, 1 GB of snapshot storage, 10,000 snapshot Get Requests and 1,000 snapshot Put Requests* 5 GB of Amazon S3 standard storage, 20,000 Get Requests, and 2,000 Put Requests* 30 GB per of internet data transfer (15 GB of data transfer “in” and 15 GB of data transfer “out” across all services except Amazon CloudFront)* 25 Amazon SimpleDB Machine Hours and 1 GB of Storage** 100,000 Requests of Amazon Simple Queue Service** 100,000 Requests, 100,000 HTTP notifications and 1,000 email notifications for Amazon Simple Notification Service** 10 Amazon Cloudwatch metrics, 10 alarms, and 1,000,000 API requests** In addition to these services, the AWS Management Console is available at no charge to help you build and manage your application on AWS. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = University of Edinburgh's Festival Speech Synthesis System = = http://festvox.org/festival Sent Via festival-t...@festvox.org = = To unsubscribe mail majord...@festvox.org = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = _______________________________________________ Festlang-talk mailing list Festlang-talk@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/festlang-talk
