I have one issue I was hoping someone could help: I am blind and am currently using a Soyoustart server for my main server after transitioning. I am currently a bit lost in terms of actually getting running with a bsd system. I obviously don't have the money to pay for a new dedicated server; are there reasonable hosts where I can just quickly reinstall BSD so I can test/etc? Obviously price is an issue. If not, is there a good resource where I can get a vmware VM that's already set up with 10/ssh or something similar? My only limitation right now is just getting something installed so I'm not "testing" on my stable server. Thanks, -- Take care, Ty http://tds-solutions.net He that will not reason is a bigot; he that cannot reason is a fool; he that dares not reason is a slave.
