I signed up for the linuxexpert deal about a month ago, and have been
quite happy with it.  The machine comes with a cheesy web-based
administration system, which I quickly disposed of.  After installing
a few extras (ssh,mod_perl,qmail,etc) it works great, and for $125/mo
its a good deal too.

They did have a bind-bug-exploit that forced many customers to
reconfigure their machines from scratch, but I had already patched
mine, and avoided the whole fiasco.

Although the contract explicitly states "no support provided" you can
still use their ebusiness site to get your questions answered rather
quickly.... assuming they are about the machine/network, not the
software (it is intended for linux experts afterall, they arent going
to hold your hand).

So far, I'm quite pleased with my little RaQ from aspre, and recommend
it to others.
