Subject: Goodbye FreeVSD, welcome OpenVDS (developers read here)


Hi all ;-)

Tired of waiting for idaya's 1.4.10 packages, the new kernel, the new skels
etc etc.... and reading the provsd pricing model (ouch!) i took the coffe
machine closer to me and.... in the last week I've been working full time on
the FreeVSD project patching the libraries and moving everything on RedHat
7.2. New Kernel, New Stuff.

Why? Because I can't expect more help from idaya. They're going commercial.
FreeVSD will slowly die or at least updates/new features will come at much
lower rate and much later than in provsd. They're not well funded and they
need cash (and quick I would add). They may not be around next year.

I have branched the code from FreeVSD 1.4.10 and made some patches to
sendmail, apache, postgres, mysql so that they can be installed on the skel.

I'm suggesdting that we create a new project that goes in parallel with
FreeVSD. If idaya and us keep collaboration I would be more than happy. If
not, we can move on our way.

So let me introduce the new baby:

Ladies and Gentleman,

I'm proud to present you

    O p e n V D S

which stands for Open Virtual Dedicated Server

The idea is to enhance the original Free Virtual Server Daemon concept of
FreeVSD to make it an open-source dedicated platform for web hosting
companies (mine included ;-)

So, developers.... jump aboard. I'm in the process of registering the
project with SourceForge and will be uploading the CVS tree + my own
packages briefly. They're all compiled for RedHat7.2 ;-) BUT: I need help. I
need everybody to contribute the way they can
(documentation/patches/testers/etc etc).

Best wishes to all

Dave.
