As a long time (but very light) Nearly Free Speech user who is also more used to Linux, I'm curious if you ran into specific problems because of them using FreeBSD, or if it was just the general feeling of things being slightly different than you're used to (which is totally a valid reason to prefer something else, I'm just wondering if it was more than that)?
- chubot 4y agoI think a lot of it was the network file system issue I mentioned -- the shell felt slow, and I suspect it was because of a network disk. I can't be sure, but I think that is a significant difference between Dreamhost and NearlyFreeSpeech. Also at that point I had used Dreamhost for ~10 years, so I was just more comfortable with it. I like how my files are in ~/oilshell.org and my logs are in ~/logs/oilshell.org. If I had started with NearlyFreeSpeech I'm sure it would have been fine IIRC the reason I tried it was because I was looking for FastCGI support (i.e. non-PHP dynamic sites that you don't have to maintain a daemon for) I don't quite remember, but I think they did have some FastCGI support, but it wasn't quite what I wanted, or maybe the Python version was different, etc. It looks like a great service, but I don't currently use it
