I did write some time ago how I wanna learn BSD, and that's the reason why I am writing this blog. And that I wasn't successful with running any BSD on my spare laptop (for whatever reasons).
And I also got interested in VPS. I bought one (3euro/yr) and I wrote the website about it (because I wanna learn web-dev stuff, too). And that got me into looking into many website with cheap unmanaged VPS deals and so. Few days ago I found one interesting offer: 1GB RAM unmanaged KVM VPS for less than 30 bucks a year.
KVM is the way to run BSD OS, right? And this one is pretty cheap. Yeah, let's get one!
I checked reviews of company, and it looked good, so I went for it.
Details?
It comes from BlueVM (affliate link).
Location is Buffalo, NY, USA.
So?
So I need your help. I bet I can find a lot of readers having more experience than me (as mine is zero). I can always use some advice.
What BSDs they offer to install?
They have:
FreeBSD 9.2
pfSense 2.1 LiveCD
OpenBSD 5.4
NetBSD 6.1.2
I can also use my own ISO, if I open a ticket with link to location.
So no DragonFly and others.
Other things?
I can change some settings:
Network cards:
realtek 8139
Intel (recommended)
VirtIO
realtek 8029
PCNet
Disk driver:
SCSI
IDE (recommended)
VirtIO
So my questions to readers?
Which OS do you recommend to use? 32 or 64?
Which setting would you pick?
Ideas?
What I wanna do with this VPS is learn. I will probably install server and some database and do some pet project. Might be some Rails or so.
Sure, I will write about whatever I will do. There will be a lot that I will discover when doing stuff...
I guess I will start with comparing features of BSDs, but go ahead, help me figure out and make some comments!
