anyone else experiencing slow dl speeds?
Hello.
I'm going to buy an OpenBSD VPS, and I'd like to know if it would be possible to have it directly loaded with OpenBSD 5.1 (instead of receiving a 4.7 system I'd have to reinstall immediately...).
Would it be possible?
You can request a specific ISO on boot.
ya, up_the_irons is great about that
toorop: include a note about that when you submit your order and i'm sure he'll take care of it
i'm not sure if he has a 5.1 ready to go or not, but at the least he'll mount the 5.1 iso so you can install it yourself immediately
toorop: i am done making OpenBSD 5.1 templates, but not in all sizes.  so if you are OK with a delay (latest, sunday night), I can give you 5.1 loaded and ready to go.  Otherwise, I can give you a 4.7 system now that you can upgrade on your own
I'm OK with waiting a few days, my need is nothing critical.
Thank you. :)
guys
i get the "awesome user of the day award"
like a pro
If you need a new /etc/passwd I hear LinkedIn offers theirs for free.
lol
well done
yeah
i haven't done something this pro in a loooong time
http://www.tarsnap.com/ - Lots of us use this for our backups.
what makes me cry is I can't, because I'm Canadian and so is Colin Percival.
oh i have a backup :P the problem is getting access to restore it :D
Canadians can't use Tarsnap?
nope
why not?
http://www.tarsnap.com/legal-why.html - second FAQ.
what he said
That's intense.
and the potential Canadian market, while probably sizeable, is probably an order of magnitude or two less than the rest of the world, so his attitude makes sense - improve service for people who can easily legally pay for it
but it still makes me cry
there is always cyphertite
pretty sure you can use that in canada
but I like to support my fellow citizens ;)
so I get by with rsyncing to a different host I control
(a local one, in fact) - so the chances of both failing catastrophically simultaneously is pretty slim, and if that does happen, I doubt I'll be in a position to care.
tarsnap is awesome
Yes.
