I'm looking at moving mu.nu to a new server for a couple of reasons. I'd like something faster, with more disk space and memory and bandwidth - not because you guys need it (except that a faster CPU will speed up Movable Type, which can be a bit sluggish) - but so I can play.
The other thing I'd like to get is cPanel. cPanel will allow you to jump from just having a mu.nu blog to having all sorts of mu.nu goodies - email, chat rooms, forums, and, um, stuff like that. FTP logins, mailing lists, spam filters, subdomains, a file manager, databases, SSH access...
Anyway, take a look at the link above, play with the demo a bit, and let me know if you like it. The software costs $1400 to buy, but if I go with the right hosting company, I can get it for $10 per month instead. But there's not much point if none of you munukeys will use it...
(I'd also get this useful munukey manager, but you won't get to play with that...)

Posted by Tiger at November 5, 2003 04:46 AMYeah, it's a bit overwhelming at first. They need to re-organise things a bit.
Posted by Pixy Misa at November 5, 2003 05:56 AMI wish the stuff worked in the demo..I tried a trace route, for example, but it's disabled.
Most of that stuff is Geek to me. Bulletin Board and email I understand.
Cron job sounds dirty. So I'll probably want to do that....
lol, Susie
I'll follow you wherever you lead, Pixy.

Question - Isn't dfmoore.mu.nu a subdomain of www.mu.nu?
Posted by Daniel at November 5, 2003 01:36 PMTechnically, both dfmoore.mu.nu and www.mu.nu are subdomains of mu.nu.
Posted by Pixy Misa at November 5, 2003 01:39 PMPersonally, I don't have time to play around with much of that stuff. But if everyone else wants it, let it be.
