Excellent BSD support as > you might gather from the name. I've had a different experience with rootbsd.net. I've had a VPS for 2 years with them and the service has just been "OK". - They have a local SVN mirror but it's either out of date or broken - They don't keep their VNC proxy or backup FreeBSD server patched. - No local NTP servers. - I was recently moved to a new Xen VPS which has made PF unusable. I've since moved to a new provider running directly on bare metal for just a little more $$$ a month. -- Jason Fortezzo fortezza@mechanicalism.net
