For when you want dedicated access without dedicated price, and getting pretty good reviews… Redwood Virtual. I’m thinking about it myself…

Stuff I’m investigating beyond Debian Woody:

Debian Sarge

Ubuntu is a new Linux distribution that brings together the extraordinary breadth of Debian with a fast and easy install, regular releases (every six months), a tight selection of excellent packages installed by default and a commitment to security updates with 18 months of security and technical support for every release.

Progeny Debian 2.0 Developer Edition aims to provide an unmatched “out of the box” environment for software developers building applications for the Java, Mono/.NET and LAMP platforms.

Right now with Woody it looks brutal. Sarge appears to have hope but still had issues with /boot as of the last note I saw on the bug. I’m going to have to try it, though, and see what I can find…

OK, now I can’t find the darn issue. Well, maybe it’s fixed? Hope so…

Looks like this article is a good place to start but I haven’t tested it yet.
