[OT] Colocation suggestions in London

[Alex McLintock]

Hello,

I am looking for somewhere to put my 1u webserver, preferably in East London,
with appropriate internet connection The server isn't running any 
megasites so bandwidth
probably wont be a problem

Any suggestions folks on what the current best deals are?

I haven't really considered virtual hosts because this way I get to install 
what I like...

A friend is trying to rent a large amount of rackspace and share it amongst 
three of us but
I think that is overkill - I'd end up paying for 4u of space (or more) 
instead of 1u.
Of course having the extra space is good because I can stick more machines 
in later on.

Guess he'll be needing debian.rpm.

Just keep hacking away at it. Keep an ncftp shortcut into the relevant
RPM directory.

And register it for up2date.

Cute! (I especially like the "Link Up: NaN days" bit ;)

I wonder what the spike every morning at 4 am is?

Cheers,

It doesn't graph the uptime because I don't have SNMP read access to
penderel, but if someone sets up access, I can graph the uptime too.

Re: penderel uptime

[Paul Makepeace]

For those that are interested in the state of penderel's health, now you
can check online!

http://london.pm.org/uptime.txt -- on a five minute cron.

http://london.pm.org/cgi-bin/uptime.pl -- runs the job and goes to /uptime.txt
http://london.pm.org/uptime.pl.txt -- source (comments?)

Of course, this doesn't tell you if the mailing list software breaks but
so far apart from occasional archive problems (which you can see by
looking at the archives[1]) it hasn't AFAIK failed in any way. (Ergo, it
won't, ever :-)

Anyone care to summarize the discussion for those of us who couldn't
make it?

Simon's journal  makes
it all sound very interesting.
