Interesting... I wonder if you've given a thought to UML (User Mode Linux). > I know certain queries can be googled but what I am really interested in > is people's recommendation with pointers that talk about lessons learned > from folks who have built heavy duty servers (w/ storage requirements, > raid, ram, processors..etc) for a data center environment. Actually a lot depends on the application. Whether you'd rent space to people or use it for your own application. If you're renting who'll be your target clients etc. Right now, I think hosting using UML is really niche and is 'the next big thing' after virtual hosting. Have a look at http://linode.com. If you need help you can mail me off the list. Best wishes for your venture, Amol Hatwar. -- http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
