 AI>> I found at times it was sluggish to repond.

 BP> what plan did you use ?

It was the basic plan at the time. If I remember 1 CPU (virtual, I think) and 
1Gb ram. That was enough to run binkd, husky and the BBS.

It was $5 /month. There are other plans with more cpu, ram and file space but I 
never tried them.

 AI>> I think but am not certain 
 AI>> that was because a close by linode was using all the cpu resources 

 BP> playing dos games ?

I couldn't even guess.

 AI>> doing ???, whatever it was it was doing.

 BP> you had root access, so you dont know ?

No, I don't know. The session froze. I could not type anything at the console 
for some time 30 secs to 90 secs so I couldn't run top or anything until it 
resumed. Once it resumed it worked fine, looking at top there was nothing out 
of the ordinary going on.

It didn't happen often but from time to time it would do that.

 BP> super, i would be in need to make husky ebuilds from github soon, current
 BP> is the read only cvs :/

Yes, I think a change to github would be a good thing in that case. :)
