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.
The day when it's the
only way is the day the Net dies, as I see it, and the day when I look
for a different line of work (which maybe I should have done a while ago).
*salute*
