bob^^: hey, have you used the DrayTek Vigor 120 modems?
G:  I have.  it's been a long time,  but we used to use them for all of our clients.
jpalmer: are they any good?
guess so if you kept using them :)
G  not bad.  better than a lot of others.
jpalmer: were you using the PPPoE->PPPoA bridging?
no.   we only had PPPoA
yeah, so were you using the ability to use a PPPoE connection on a router/PC and have the modem bridge it to a PPPoA connection?
more like translate I guess
Hi.  Is it possible to run Windows Server 2008 R2 on your VPS servers if I provide the license and media?
should work as long as you can mount the DVD and do an install inside a virtual console
haven't tried (or wanted to try) though
the provided hardware is pretty generic
(virtual)
read here - http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Guest_Support_Status
I guess I'd be able to install the OS using KVM, right?
host is AMD, I think
I wonder if anyone else is running Windows Server on VPS there.
I haven't heard of anyone come here to ask questions.:)
maybe they don't understand IRC though
LOL - not a lot of Windows guys on IRC I suppose.
I haven't touched Linux in over a decade, so I think it's easier to use IIS than to learn Apache.
How is the I/O compared to other VPS providers?
yeah, a trike is easier than a race car!
My previous client had *fiber* to the building that ARP sits in
hehe - FastCGI honestly puts IIS 7+ on par with Apache.
if what you want is CGI
I prefer mod_perl, to get at *all* service phases
want to map URLs to different pages based on GeoIP or time of day? trivial in mod_perl
I don't know perl.  Just PHP, Java, ASP.NET.
Perl is simple enough to learn.  I can recommend a couple of good books. :)
Yeah, I have a friend who has been trying to get me to learn Perl for years.  I'm too spoiled by my pretty IDEs.
I have a plenty-pretty IDE.  It's called GNU Emacs.
syntax highlighting, text completion, etc.
hehe - I thought you were going to say vi.
naah.  I left vi years ago for emacs.
emacs is infinitely more programmable.
how is the emacs kernel
i hear its come a long way
up_the_irons: is it possible to get my 2 instances hosted on 2 different physical machines?
