This is great news. You can now rent a machine for a month for around $70 (plus setup fees). Not a virtual host or a shared jailed environment (on these you'll get frowned on for using 100% CPU). This much gets you real root on a colocated physical machine. So, trust issues aside, it looks like it is becoming much more practical to rent (or receive donations of) remote hardware on a need basis, rather than to own all of it all of the time. -- Dan Pelleg _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
