X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 08 Feb 2007 01:01:19 -0000 I'm looking to rent a low-cost FreeBSD dedicated server or VPS with root access. For a VPS, I realize this is really psuedo-root access. I once rented a VPS on a FreeBSD box that was split into virtual boxes using "jail", but wasn't happy with it. So, if it's not a dedicated box, I'm looking for something like Virtuozzo, Xen, vmware running FreeBSD as a guest OS, etc. The box doesn't have to be super-fast or have lots of disk space: just looking for something that will let me play around with ports, pf, run experiments, etc Does anyone have any suggestions? -- We're just a Bunch Of Regular Guys, a collective group that's trying to understand and assimilate technology.
