Control panel keeps coming up. I haven't used one, so maybe that's what I'm missing. You're right, single click OS install or backup would be compelling.

- astrodust 16y agoBeing able to dump, restore, rebuild, reimage, or do pretty much anything to the server without fear of leaving it in some unrecoverable state is an advantage that cannot be ignored. It's great that you can simply trash and reinstall a server without having to be careful you won't inadvertently lock yourself out and need to request a technician for a reboot or a manual rebuild. If you have a co-lo provider that gives you access to toggle power plus serial console access, you have it nearly as good, but you still can't re-image the machine without having it installed as such from the start. The best hybrid approach would be to get a decent machine at a co-lo provider, then partition it yourself using Xen.
