Rackspace just called to straighten out the issue. It does seem that one of their salesmen was very confused. It does appear that the current problem is the one your friend passed on. Someone should really introduce these guys to the joys of cloning disks, but I digress. So, Rackspace will sell a server with FreeBSD installed, with some caveats for the time being. I would say those caveats are reasonable for now. Will I be going back to Rackspace?? I don't know. So many on the list have made suggestions for providers that are dedicated to FreeBSD, that the choice will be difficult. So, in summation: 1) Kudos to Rackspace for following up and correcting the mistake. 2) Many thanks to all who have sent me suggestions, they are greatly appreciated. -Ken Stox stox@imagescape.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
