Very similat with my result : http://en.seputarvps.info/blog/benchmark-result-after-using-own-kernel-pygrub/
Unfortunately, it looks like they don’t give RAID HDD
Really? is that so? I never inquired about their RAID HDD arrays.
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS out of box installation was eating more than 170mb of RAM, created support ticket but at the end I was told to use CentOS instead. Unacceptable so I cancelled today.
About RAID, sorry, i'm wrong, i don't have enough fact
Btw, i'm using their debian and happy so far.
Cool!
