If you are seeing this then you are browsing on the new server. Why the server change? A few reasons

Old server

    $102/month for a dedicated server and 3 IPs
    20GB hd
    256MB memory
    AMD K6 450Mhz CPU
    500GB/month bandwidth
    Cobalt Linux with kernel 2.2.14 with no ability to upgrade due to cobalt bios design


New server

    $57/month for dedicated server and 3 IPs
    80GB hd
    512MB memory
    Intel Celeron 420 1.6Ghz CPU
    1000GB/month bandwidth
    Debian v5 Linux with 2.6.26 kernel and full ability to upgrade as seen fit
    Optional ability (not currently setup) for second HD that could be used for backup purposes OR off machine FTP backup

The one reason I don't like Debian is cause by the time they release software as stable it's already outdated. Of course I use the most common distro and thus I am a fanboy, but use Ubuntu!!! Being a server though, I don't think it's going to matter too terribly much.

BTW, will there ever be a Linux port?

Debian stable works very well for servers as it is known to be stable. However I tend to run Debian Testing which is fairly up to date.
