Hello all
I am a nerd, albeit a cool nerd but a nerd nonetheless. I host a few friends websites out of my house (I have a kick ass connection) and have just built a free shell server for people where they will be able to sign up and have free shell accounts and stuff. I am looking to kind of start of a community of enthusiasts who have the ability to host servers of their own at their homes as well and provide shell and maybe hosts some peoples websites.
I am doing this merely for experience purposes and to test stuff out like replication websites and failover options and stuff. I basically do this stuff in my spare time but think it would be cool to build up a community of people who do stuff at home and provide some sort of services. I will also be hostsing free pop accounts with like a 10 meg limit or something (haven't decided how I am going to work that out yet)
I am a FreeBSD junkie ('cause it's the best
), but I also play with Redhat and Suse if I have the time. It would be great if someone is interested. I have a couple of domain names and will galdly do DNS hosting for anyone who knows their IP and wants to play around with web, shell, mail hosting. If anyone is interested let me know and leave a way for me to get in contact with you (e-mail or something, don't worry, I am not a spammer either.... honest) The closer to the Virginia, DC area the better, however I will not discriminate
Please note this is not for any sort of profit or anything, just people wanting to learn or help build an open source community in thier spare time.
