Used to host mine at home on a desktop, but upload speed was very limited, luckily I work at an ISP. I'm running a vnc server on it with a lot of terminals open to other servers and I'm connecting to it from home, kinda like a jump server (ssh tunnel + vncserver on localhost ftw). Mail, DNS, couple of websites, torrent tracker, some cacti. Sidenote: I'm managing 1-2 dedicated servers at rackspace, and I'm pretty satisfied with them. -- Imre Gergely gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 0x34525305 ___ Fedora-infrastructure-list mailing list Fedora-infrastructure-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-infrastructure-list

I use westhost, now purchased by UK2.net. It's a VPS, with something less that full root access, running something like RHEL4 + vserver (container-based virt), but it's cheap enough for what I do with it. -- Matt Domsch Linux Technology Strategist, Dell Office of the CTO linux.dell.com & www.dell.com/linux ___ Fedora-infrastructure-list mailing list Fedora-infrastructure-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-infrastructure-list
