Nice…

Just got a free VPS, 5GB HDD, 128MB RAM, 100GB traffic, free for an unknown amount of time, the catch?

IPv6 only. tuzki_fuuu

That really means what it sounds like, the poor thing has no idea about what an IPv4 looks like, but it has a very nice and long IPv6.

Other thing is that there is no control panel, not talking about cpanel and friends, a control panel to reboot and see spent traffic, that is for me the bare minimum, yet it doesn’t have one.

I would install webmin on it, but I don’t see the point of doing that…

On the other hand, I installed proftpd and it works great and has a good speed, so I will use it for backups and to play around with ipv6.

*edit*

Got a nice speed from http://speedtest6.tele2.net/100MB.zip using wget

not bad for a small and free vps.

cat /proc/cpuinfo

model name      : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU          6600  @ 2.40GHz

cpu MHz         : 238.410

hehehe more than enough for the price.

Just installed lighttpd on it.

Mem:    262144k total,    14548k used,   247596k free,        0k buffers

Now that I know how light a linux system can be I guess I should go and put my Pentium II with 64MB of Ram working as a torrent box…just saying…
