    The Apache 2.0 news is kinda cool. I’m not sure how this will effect me as a customer though (if at all, even in performance)?

    What I’ve been waiting, and waiting to hear is that DH is offering their own dedicated server service.

    I can only start to hope that DreamHost, when they start hosting their own dedicated servers again, will have pricing that rivals the following

    http://www.cari.net/Dedicated-Servers/dedicated-servers-by-processor.php#pentium4

    $69/mo
    Processor: Pentium 4 3.0GHz
    Cache (L2): 2MB
    Minimum RAM: 1GB
    Storage: 160GB SATA2

    I’m curious to know when your “more about this later” comment will be addressed with regards to Apache 2.0.

    I just looked over those dedicated server options from cari.net. I must say that even though I’m a die-hard, loyal, DreamHost customer … I’m very jealous of those plans.

    Very inexpensive and great hardware.

    DH, please when you start offering dedicated servers again to be competitive with cari.net.
