BTW, I'd like to thank you for your good questions. This will make excellent fodder for the FAQ, and I'm surprised that it wasn't already there.
Brad - No worries. Happy to be the guinea pig. ;)
Here's something else you may want to add as I'm sure I'm not the only one in this situation...
I was looking for something that would allow me to run Mailman and learn as I go about the install process and tweaking it. I didn't want to pay the $99 to $250 for a dedicated box (overkill for what I want to do with it).
What I found was Linode http://www.linode.com/, where they offer VPS accounts that you can configure from scratch with one or more boots of five flavors of Linux. Well documented forums. Email form support that is responsive. Root access and the ability to make all the mistakes I want to for (and this is the best part) the starting price of $19.95 per month...
It's like being able to ride a cheap bike with training wheels to learn before moving to a dedicated box (if that is even needed for small work).
In any case, a great thing to add to the FAQ I think as many I imagine are learning and it's better to learn cheaply than to have to invest a ton of money.
