I signed up for the smallest package and got access by midday
yesterday. I chose to have debian lenny (surprise! surprise!) for the
OS and I found it surprisingly complete.
All I needed to install were geneweb, apache2, mc and apt-cacher and
then copy over the files for geneweb and the Kingsclere website. Once
I had ownership/permissions sorted out I could access the databases
and the website by using the IP address.
I do have to install gallery and see if I can get it to see the
original albums I set up. I will also have to try setting up a
firewall as suggested on the bitfolk website.
All in all an almost painless process to migrate my stuff from the
LUG box to a VPS.
Hopefully Mark Lewis will get the DNS stuff sorted out for me and I'll
be able to use the startx name before too long.
