This is a test post to make sure functionality is working after a server move.
Yep, we’d been hosting with The Planet for a long time, 5+ years. The system was strong, but we got a few releases behind on Fedora and we were worried the disks were getting old and creaky. So, after one failed attempt here we are, on a VM with the excellent linnode guys. Running Ubuntu Jaunty. Don’t need much to run our public server, and a slice of a machine can handle it.
When I’m sure we’re fully cutover, I’ll offer my thoughts on the experience, and on the viability of exporting public-facing servers to the virtualized cloud in this fashion. But first I’d better make sure it all works.
