[Scummvm-devel] About announcing backend changes & build machine

[Max Horn]

Hi folks,

so right now I am considering ordering this system: <http:// 
www.hosteurope.de/produkt/VPS-Linux-XL>. Even though the page is in  
german, you should be able to make out the basic tech details. The  
price is 20 Euros / month, which I believe to be a good price for  
what they offer.

The advantage of going with a VPS at HE: We know them, we know they  
are ultra reliable, the service is good (24/7 phone & email service  
for real -- I tested it), and with a VPS, they will install security  
updates etc. for us.

But we don't want (at least at this time) move the forum/wiki over to  
that server, since while we would save money, we'd also make the fate  
of the forums/wiki depend on that of the build server (when it  
crashes/gets overloaded, is attacked by crackers, etc.).

Any thoughts on that? Do the system specs look reasonable? Does Ubuntu 
+Plesk look like a reasonable environment, or would somebody here  
*who would then also be willing to help maintain the system* much  
prefer Debian or SuSE?

My plan would be to setup one/some of the continuous build softwares  
on my own system for testing, to see how they work / which to use  
etc.. If anybody has any experience with any of them, please let me  
know.


Cheers,
Max
