While their web site doesn''t say it explicitly, I''m sure they could setup a Gentoo VPS for you. E-mail them and ask. www.rimuhosting.com - Rabbit On 2/15/06, Adam Fields <rails23049809@aquick.org> wrote:> Speaking of hosting, have any of you used a VPS provider that offers > gentoo as the VPS OS?

I''m using gentoo with VPS Land. http://vpsland.com/ I''ve had it for about 5 months and am extremely happy with it. Customer service is excellent as well. -Jonathan On Feb 15, 2006, at 1:22 PM, Adam Fields wrote:> Speaking of hosting, have any of you used a VPS provider that offers > gentoo as the VPS OS?

Just a private individual. I''m offering hosting to a few individuals on my Gentoo servers that are in a colocation facility. I can''t offer as many perks as the big names, but I think I can give you more bang for your buck. Contact me directly if you have questions.

Are you running a public service on this, or using it for development?

unixshell.com supports gentoo. On 2/15/06, Adam Fields <rails23049809@aquick.org> wrote:> Speaking of hosting, have any of you used a VPS provider that offers > gentoo as the VPS OS? All of the ones I know of use fedora, debian, > ubuntu, or CentOS. >
Linode (www.linode.com) supports it. Michael Trier
I rent a dedicated rack unit at tek alchemy (http://tek.net/) and have had great service. Had one hardware issue and one move of the data center, but they were johnny on the spot. They have hosting services too, but I haven''t used them, so I can''t vouch for that. Oh, and they''ve had an ad on the gentoo home page forever because one of their guys was an early contributor to gentoo. They definitely prefer gentoo over the other OSes they offer and are very knowledgable about it. Now, I don''t see anything about rails on their site, so this may all be moot on a rails list. But, couldn''t hurt to talk to them about adding rails. And, if you went with a dedicated server, you''d have full control... you can install anything you want. It''s a bit pricier, but if you can line up a handful of clients to cover your monthly bill it''s definitely worth it. b Adam Fields wrote:> Speaking of hosting, have any of you used a VPS provider that offers > gentoo as the VPS OS?

I had a gentoo server with them before they put their compile farm in (which is going back a bit now), and it was pretty flawless. -- Alex
