heavysixer has quit IRC (Quit: heavysixer) jpalmer: so, windows appears to run well in the VPS. load up the right drivers, and off to the races. It actually runs suprisingly decent in 768m RAM.
a little slow when switching apps and such. so, I'm asking for a bump in RAM.. but overall, I'm kinda impressed. avj: would you care to share with the class the purpose of this painless-sounding exercise?
painful, is of course what i meant jpalmer: it wasn't painful. load ISO, install. select drivers, done.
if you mean, why do it? I needed a windows VPS, and wanted to use ARP instead of finding another windows VPS provider ***: heavysixer has joined #arpnetworks
ChanServ sets mode: +o heavysixer avj: sorry, meant more about what the use case for it would be. and was just poking fun at the idea; no malice intended. jpalmer: use case is: I have very flakey internet at home. (I live in a very rural area) and need a reliable and always-on windows instance to run a piece of software that is very sensitive to network latency
(My internet goes out for mild storms, sometimes for 2-3 days until I can get them out to fix the lines.) avj: ah, very cool. except for the part about the connection, that is. ***: heavysixer has quit IRC (Quit: heavysixer)
