Hi Ian, I'd strongly encourage you to reach out to Linode support (I've found them very responsive and helpful) and ask about BSD. I believe you can do a micro install of something on one vDisk and then use that to boot strap install something else, possibly anything else. I think I've even heard that you could get Windows installed via their GUI web console. - So I expect that BSD should be fairly easy to do. I personally am planing on resizing a couple of VMs to a larger size w/ more CPU & disk to do a Gentoo install from my old CentOS. Then I'll switch the boot disk, and ultimately remove CentOS & shrink back to the current size. So, don't give up on Linode yet. I bet you that they have a way for you to run BSD. > spam is a problem but also a challenge ;-) Agreed. }:-) > I'll never switch to gmail as my primary address.
