Re: CPU RAM in a storage box
Hi, Not that I want to open a flame war, but.. $.80 per gigabyte? even I (as hetz.biz, my business) sell equivalent service for less then that price, and my servers are located in Israel. They brag about international, but looking at their FAQ, they do a backup to some international location, so as a user, if you're connected from Israel or you're connecting from US, you'll be connected to the same server, with all the latencies etc..

If my arithmetic and assumptions are correct, you can upload a megabyte in 8 seconds with an 800k bits per second NGN line. This comes out to around 3 hours a gigabyte or 8 gigabytes a day. Multiply that out and a terabyte would take 128 days (slightly over 4 months). Since this does not include protocol overhead, retansmissions, network slow downs, etc, a year would IMHO be a reasonable estimate. Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.

Re: rehovot linux
As far as I know, you can get a small selection of servers from Dell and IBM with Linux preinstalled, and there are specialty Linux providers that offer only preconfigured Linux servers. Also some netbooks (Aspire, EEEPC sell - or at least sold - them with Linux. I suspect you will have to order them abroad and get them shipped or brought by a person to Israel, but I am not sure as I reside elsewhere. Usually, if you want a Vendor to support Linux, you will be paying the same price (or more) of having windows on the machine, so I am not sure I would go that route. Might as well buy a Linux compatible computer (check online for Linux compatibility), with Windows 7, and install Linux on it. You will have the best of both worlds, and probably can find a wide selection of hardware, maybe even at markdown.
