[cod] Re:paying for *nix OS's ( was 1.4b )

[Robert Mount]

I've been looking at new Colo servers.  Lots of providers are offering CentOS as their default Linux offering, which appears to be some form of RHE that is free.

I'll probably try it on my next box, i'd try a form of BSD, but there's a slightly smaller learning curve there.

  Yep same issue on FreeBSD here.
  Its a very solid hosting platform. Good security good support,
  easy to use packages. Hardware support is good, had a few
  minor niggles with some very new opteron boards ( netcard
  support ) but all fixed quickly. Anyone considering it should
  pick the 5.x stream 5.2.1-RELEASE atm soon to be 5.3
  as it contains significant increase in performance for SMP
  kernels. For game servers however if u try the 5-CURRENT
  ensure u use the old BSD scheduler as the new one has
  poor performance for servers.

    In response, Redhat offers professional service, SLA's, 
    CHanges RH 9.0 to  new name ES3.0.  Raises the price
    on the server from $99 to $1,399.
