I got tired of getting irked about this a long time ago. That's why I colocate a couple of boxes :-) You can get a good 1U for well under $1000. Heck, buy a year-old machine at auction, and you can probably get for less than $500. Colocating a 1U shouldn't be more than $100 a month or so, as long as your bandwidth isn't really excessive. Bandwidth is cheap, anyway... 1Mb/s is $300 per month or so. There's no reason in the world why a number of folks couldn't go in together on such a box, as long as people don't want root to do all sorts of crazy things or try to compute the number of atoms in the Earth or something :-) -- *********************************************************************** * John Oliver http://www.john-oliver.net/ * * * *********************************************************************** -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
