It is entirely too late for me to go digging, but there is a hosting company out there that sells virtual co-location. It's virtual in that multiple OS's run on one box. Each virtual system has full root privs and can even reboot the system without affecting any of the other systems. I forget the name of the program that allows this. Something like jailed or jaild or what not. I cannot remember any details, but it might worth looking into. -- Archaic Want control, education, and security from your operating system?
