It is: Celeron 2.4Ghz 120 gig drive 1 gig ram 1.2tb bandwidth/month Red Hat 9 installed Apache 1.3.9 (more secure and less hassles than version 2) PHP 5 installed It currently hosts the Crafty website, and one other site that will be done at the end of the month. After that the Crafty site will be the only site on the box. I recently helped mirror Rad Tweaker (tweaking utility for Radeon based video cards), and the server was pummeled for days on end, yet it never once slowed the Crafty site down. I would be more than willing to host this board, or something similiar. Peter
