    Fred,

    Do you really believe in all the hype that they are selling about the "grid operating system"

    Hi Ross,

    If think their approach for managing a grid is truly innovative and that using virtualization on top of that is good way to go.

    I read your blog about the recent outage on grid based hosting... I agree that it was maybe a bit premature to launch the service, like all technologies it have to mature.

    I've also tried Amazon EC2 and even if it looks promising, the interface to the system is horrible and too low level. 3Tera's kind of interface is clearly -- as users -- what we'd like to use.

    By the way, your site is a good initiative, it's still very complicated to find good hosting solutions, there are so many...

    I'm currently looking for a free administration panel that could run on top of Ubuntu, I've tried [ISPConfig](http://www.ispconfig.org/), but it's a pain to configure. Do you know anything about it?

    I tried it but the interface is horrible. I can't seriously give that to a customer.
