hi.  is this the channel for the arpnetworks hosting provider?  does the service still exist?
i wonder because i ordered a vps on saturday, received an email that i would have my vps in 24 hours, and nothing happened since then.  also, no reply to email to support@
H4ns: arpnetworks still exists. provisioning vps' is a manual process and can take longer on weekends. also ticket turnaround time is usually 24-48 hours
ant: ah.  ok.  is 24-48 hours also the turnaround time for trouble tickets?
H4ns: yeah there is no distinction. but if stuff breaks badly up_the_irons is paged or something and reacts more quickly ;)
ant: ok.  well, then i'll wait for the provisioning.  if the email had said that it may take a few days, i'd not be dissatisfied in the first place :)
H4ns: yeah, maybe up_the_irons should note that it might take longer on weekends ;)
H4ns: i processed the weekend order queue last night; pm me your email and i'll look up your account, see why you didn't get a welcome email

whats the big deal about ARM processors?
will they ever become mainstream for datacenter servers etc?
Hard to see widespread adoption when 90% of "users" just want to throw a cheap server at a problem and don't care abut the solution itself.
(users in quotes because I'm talking about the user of the server, not end-users)
Same goes for MIPS stuff like the Loongson/octeon
Sparc saw some widespread usaage for awhile. As did MIPS come to think of it.
*usage
MIPS are common in home routers
Raspberry Pi is Arm isnt it?
octeon seems neat but I don't understand where it is supposed to fit on the price/performance spectrum
I think ARP networks needs a table at EuroBSDcon this year...;)
Octeon is targeted at router/nas-type applications, with built-in accelerators/features for it.
Plus it's non-American, which is a big PLUS for the Chinese et al.
yeah, dlink has their lower end chips in a few NAS models
is the power/perf at that size/price all that great?
I don't know that it's "great" but it's quite respectable from what I understand
