anything equiv. to the special above running say ubuntu? Joel: yeah, the special applies to all OS's offered. sweet blovett, :) blovett recommended me :) or referred rather. Joel: ah cool :) blovett: thanks :) and I spoke up for arpnetworks when blovett was considering vps's .. nice indeed you just think I'm helping you out. I'm really being selfish. I want the awesome vps that is arpnetworks to stay going .. see, selfish toddf: LOL indeed that chain is interesting up_the_irons, any idea what it would cost to colocate a 1u just for personal use? personal email, personal website, trac instance running for my own code, nothing high traffic, yadda yadda i dont think he's interested in that but maybe he's changed his mind ;d you obviously haven't been to the website http://arpnetworks.com/colocation as far as 1u, low bandwidth. did you look at that page? um, yes, yes I did. quarter rack and up. but there's also the click here for custom quote.. heh yeah I can't imagine why I would want to talk to someone helpful instead of emailing for a custom quote. additionally, irc is listed on the contact us page heh .. up_the_irons is here sometimes, and does read scrollback, so .. just wait for him to respond or send an email query .. up to you is there some good open source forums forum software PHPBB2 is the most common I've seen good is all a matter of taste jeev, there's tons of stuff out there, things like phpbb, but it's generally lacking in the way of xss protection jeev are you looking for just a forum, or a full on website with a forum? jeev I tend to use drupal to build out a community + forum quickly
