Not quite. SSH is there, and I seem to remember that Apache is as well. I think Ruby is also, but I use Ruby EE for production hosting, which is a relatively simple installation. I've never looked for PHP or mySQL, since I don't really use either one. > In addition, they use 64-bit slices so this adds another > piece into the puzzle.

I usually put Webmin on my servers, which in my opinion is far better.

It's not difficult at all -- of course, it wasn't my first Linux setup either. > How about porting over sites from another > webhost to slicehost. I should think that you could either use Capistrano and you SCM for that, or you could just put the whole thing into a tarball and copy it.
