[Scottish] Quality, low cost hosting
Hi, Been a lurker for a while I'm doing a network for someone as a sideline, and need some advice: Sorry for being a wee bit OT, but I do remember this getting discussed in the past. can anyone recommend a good, low cost host for a small site with not a lot of traffic, ideally with either mail forwarding or a pop3 box. Do I remember Black Cat Networks being mentioned, and either being very good or very bad?? Thanks for any comments.

[Scottish] Game server
Hello S.L.U.G, Earlier this year some kind soul gave a talk on game servers on Linux. Can someone remind me who it was, or can he email me please. I might have a small job for him...

I could certainly recommend Hostroute.co.uk. http://www.hostroute.co.uk/hostingplans.html I've got the Linux 200Mb Disk space option (9.95UKP/mo), and have been very pleased with it. I've contacted their support for relatively silly reasons (my own mistakes) and have had a prompt service each time (even on Sunday afternoons). It's a shared Linux box, RedHat IIRC, and you get ssh access. HTH Kevin ___ Scottish mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/scottish

I used them for two years and they gave a great service.

Black cat are excellent from what i've heard, but don't do hosting as such (afaik) they just do rackspace and bandwidth. Excaliber seem to be fairly reputable, i know they have some staff on this list and from what i can tell they are fairly competant and have competative prices. Uklinux also do hosting, as do (I think) Ednet. There are also a number of people on #scotlug who will happily host a small site off the back of a cable/sdsl line if its not going to suck bandwidth.

[Scottish] OT: If MS made toasters
Slightly OT, but this arrived in my in box this morning. If Microsoft made toasters -- Every time you bought a loaf of bread, you would have to buy a toaster. You wouldn't have to take the toaster, but you'd still have to pay for it anyway. XP Toaster would weigh 15000 pounds (hence requiring a reinforced steel countertop), draw enough electricity to power a small city, take up 95% of the space in your kitchen, would claim to be the first toaster that lets you control how light or dark you want your toast to be, and would secretly interrogate your other appliances to find out who made them. Everyone would hate Microsoft toasters, but nonetheless would buy them since most of the good bread only works with their toasters. If Apple made toasters... -- It would do everything the Microsoft toaster does, but 5 years earlier. If Linux made toasters... - Anyone could build his own toaster from the spare parts in the garage, but people would still pay money for pre-built toasters. All the parts would be user serviceable, and the design plans would be freely downloadable. Instead of the complexity of having to push a button, you would simply type something like toast-lightness?rk-bread-type=brown. The toaster would burn your toast by default, but once you enable the don't-burn-my-toast feature in toaster.conf (as described in the TOASTER-RTFM-HOWTO) it would toast reliably for years. People who eat Linux toast say that it is better than Windows toast. And Microsoft would tell everyone that Linux Toast causes cancer...
