It seems that the development on Vishwakarma has stopped :( There seems to be no change log for some time now..

Plesk is not maintained well. I have a server running ensim 3.1 currently, and I find that ensim takes up too much resources on the server. How is cpanel in this regard? I am thinking about getting cpanel, but their price is quite steep. $599 for 1 year is quite high :( > There are a couple of others out there on Sourceforge.

I have had enough with support from remote datacenters. All of these places tend to charge crazy ammounts for support. I was thinking about vsnl delhi as they have decent connectivity and I get physical access. Most of my clients are from India, so access speed will be better for them thru a datacenter in india. I would like to hear about any good bad experience with vsnl delhi and reliance for colocation in india. I have a server hosted at superb, and those guys were recomending a reinstall for a problem that was solved by giving a proper init command on the linux boot prompt. Their support is real bad. They charge extra for setting up a system properly, and then set it up with a kernel that locks up with moderate load! Please if you are considering a dedicated Linux server don't go to superb they are big time rip offs :( Ambar Roy _______________________________________________ ilugd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd
