Are you looking for a physical machine to stick in a rack (or under a desk or whatever) at your office, or to rent something? Either way, the simplest method is probably to just find something with spare capacity and install a virtual machine, or rent a virtual machine from someone. If you can't replicate the production environment exactly, there's not a huge amount of point going any further than having the right versions of Apache, Mysql and whatever you use for LAMP's 'P'; if you're not concerned that the network card's different, you're probably similarly unconcerned that the staging environment's got a xen kernel and production hasn't, for example. -- Avi -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
