I can offer my box as well. It's my private box, traffic virtually unlimited, hardware more than enough, fast uplink (a few GBit/s), and soon in production use for something else I want to earn money with. It runs AxKit CVS and is already hosting an AxKit Wiki. For completeness, I have to mention that I've had reliability problems with it, but since the technical staff exchanged the power supply, it worked flawlessly (3 months now, so it looks like they finally found the problem). -- CU Joerg PGP Public Key at http://ich.bin.kein.hoschi.de/~trouble/public_key.asc PGP Key fingerprint = D34F 57C4 99D8 8F16 E16E 7779 CDDC 41A4 4C48 6F94
