older newer | first last |
Graham 1-Dec-2008 [3468x2] | but all you need is the cheyenne distro, and rebol. |
You can setup your own vm for $20 / month on slicehost.com | |
AdrianS 1-Dec-2008 [3470] | Are you using them Graham? |
Graham 1-Dec-2008 [3471x2] | No ... I'm not, But they're cheaper than my current host which I have had for 16 years now! |
So, I'm looking to change. | |
Henrik 1-Dec-2008 [3473] | any good words about them? |
Graham 1-Dec-2008 [3474x2] | They get very good reviews |
on tech forums | |
Henrik 1-Dec-2008 [3476] | interesting |
Graham 1-Dec-2008 [3477] | They were recently bought out by rackspace ... so we will see if that changes anything. |
Henrik 1-Dec-2008 [3478] | I would like to hear more if someone gets to use Cheyenne on them. (as I deeply miss a high bandwidth, high uptime Cheyenne host). |
Graham 1-Dec-2008 [3479x2] | maybe if we all contribute a few $$ each , we can get a slice we can all share for REbol scripts |
have Cheyenne ... and each person runs their own vhosts | |
AdrianS 1-Dec-2008 [3481] | I'd chip in |
Graham 1-Dec-2008 [3482x3] | That will stress doc out!! LOL |
I'm up for $20 | |
We can now run it for 2 months! | |
Henrik 1-Dec-2008 [3485] | Did Carl see it when it was discussed to change host? |
Graham 1-Dec-2008 [3486x4] | Richard offered a free host .. so it was not discussed. however Richard has now gone awol |
If I can get 12 people .. viz. a year .. I'll start the process of ordering a slice. | |
I'm going to suggest ubuntun server as the OS. | |
Ubuntu | |
Henrik 1-Dec-2008 [3490] | At that price, it seems like a steal. The question down the road is, who is stealing from who. :-) |
Graham 1-Dec-2008 [3491x2] | Well, we could use EC2 ... but that's $70/month |
we would have to have someone who is very intimate wth Cheyenne to run the Cheyenne side. | |
Ashley 1-Dec-2008 [3493] | All my stuff is hosted on http://www.webarama.com.au/and they've been pretty amenable to my other requests. Is it just a case of getting them to "install" REBOL for me much as Perl is? If so, which version of REBOL do I need? Can I get away with /base? |
AdrianS 1-Dec-2008 [3494] | what about a DB? |
Graham 1-Dec-2008 [3495] | core ... and just place it in /bin directory |
AdrianS 1-Dec-2008 [3496] | the $20 slice includes just 256MB of RAM |
Graham 1-Dec-2008 [3497] | 256mb is heaps |
AdrianS 1-Dec-2008 [3498] | for DB too? |
Graham 1-Dec-2008 [3499x3] | sure ... |
we can easily apt-get mysql | |
what were you thinking of running? | |
AdrianS 1-Dec-2008 [3502] | don't have anything specific at this time - just thinking ahead |
Graham 1-Dec-2008 [3503] | the good thing is .. you just pay a litle more to get more ram |
AdrianS 1-Dec-2008 [3504x2] | how much more? |
price, I mean | |
Graham 1-Dec-2008 [3506] | http://www.slicehost.com/ |
Dockimbel 1-Dec-2008 [3507] | Ashley: If you intend to run Cheyenne on port 80, it requires root privileges, will your ISP allow REBOL or encapped Cheyenne to run as root? (There's an option in Cheyenne to "su" to another uid/gid but it was never tested in production). |
kcollins 1-Dec-2008 [3508x4] | Graham, I would recommend Linode over Slicehost. |
I have used both. Linode offers you much more flexibility in controlling your VPS. For example, you can have multiple disk images at the same time (although only one can be active). | |
Also, Linode provides more RAM and disk space for the same price, and in my experience has somewhat better performance. | |

Graham 1-Dec-2008 [3512x2] | Interesting.... but raid 1 vs raid 10 |
Have you tried both? | |
kcollins 1-Dec-2008 [3514] | yes |
Graham 1-Dec-2008 [3515x3] | I'm easy ... |
Even raid 10 is no guarantee.... | |
Pity they don't seem to take paypal ... | |
