what the subject says
i tried sourceforge but they rejected me...

Currently I'm hosting my stuff on a vServer I administrate myself. Because of problems and / or lack of time, I'm looking for a webhoster providing SVN / Trac (or Python) / webmail with a decent anti-spam-anti-virus package myself.

I have a dedicated computer of my own at home that's online 24/7.

I host everything (my crosscompiler, mail, and web) on my home server (http://jackscott.homedns.org).

If you want an account, just mail or PM me, but I can't guarantee availability or data security or anything of that nature.

yeah... think i'm goin on for a home server too darn i need old parts

I'll jump in on the 'home server' bandwagon. I've got it set up right now running with SVN, trac, python, and all kinds of nifty stuff.

When Fiber To The Home recently hit my area, I switched over to it right away, and now have an awesome 5MB upstream to host my stuff from.

I have an old box I could use for a server but I'd need to find a PCMCIA -> Ethernet cable dongle that works (I have two broken ones...) I'm thinking I'd have to put Windows 98 back on it since the XP is dragging it down to 10 minute startups...

Otherwise, I have TBOS on code.google.com since it's so freakin' awesome. Quite a few of us seem to use it.

Why just open source OS's? Hope you are not trying to learn from them...

@troy martin
my advice would be to use freebsd or a linux for a server. a windows xp server isn't too secure, and windows 98... even my grandma could break into it.

eh.. for now i'm configuring a server on my only system. planning on getting another system to use as a dedicated server in the future.

btw.. would a p3 @ 800mhz with 256 or 512 mb of ram be enough for a linux server?

The server I've got my web/email/svn/trac stuff running on is an Athlon 650 with 384MB of RAM and a 20GB HD. I'm swapping that out sometime soon for a more capable box, but the current server is plenty for my needs.

I use a VPS with SliceHost to host my stuff. Damned cheap for what you get, IMO. I'm using the lowest-specced slice (256MB RAM, 10GB space and 100GB bandwidth) and it works great.

I use http://westhost.com ... they are good and cheap.. no root access, but you still get ssh and all that... if I wanted to I could even setup nightly builds or something on it.. I got a plan for $10/month.. I think their cheapest plan is like $2/month...

heh i'm goin home server

Yes. My home server is a PIII 933MHz. It used to have 128MiB before I upgraded it and still ran fine. I was using Debian GNU/Linux Stable 4.1 and the only software I changed was using lighttpd instead of Apache, since Apache chews RAM like there is no tomorrow.

Edit: Even with only 128MiB RAM and the processor I have, unless I was compiling a new cross compiler, load averages hardly ever went above 0.10 (10%).

Our development server, named 'deadreckoning' is an Intel Core 2 Quad (Q9300), 4GB RAM, with ubuntu+xen and bochs. It is located in an office somewhere and we never really need to physically maintain it, we just connect remotely. We did manage to accidentally purchase the only Core 2 Quad without VT...so that was a pain. The Q9300 is the replacement.

We use, and recommend, git for a SCM. And use github as a web-based frontend.

We host our site and wiki, and again recommend, using DreamHost.

Very jealous. Verizon is too scared to tread on Comcast's turf here, so I'm stuck with sharing the worst maintained connection in the world. The University of Pittsburgh hosts our dev server, so that's a bit better. Sorta.
