I have a number of servers on AWS for my day job. For my weekend projects I need a free dev environment. My wife doesn't like spending money.
I'm sure I can find a solution. I'm working with webfaction now to see if they can donate the hosting. I spent a half-day trying to set up my dev environment in virtualbox on my local PC. But all I could find were ubuntu desktops and I just want a headless server with SSH. That is all I'm familiar with. I tried to set one up myself but it was a disaster.
