a VPS as I understand it is a share on a server which as far as the user is concerned is a full server with root access. The only thing one cannot do in most VPSs is install a new distro. One can upgrade to a new release of the installed distro. Dotcloud does not even give shell access, let alone root access. -- regards Kenneth Gonsalves _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
