Question about a specific ISP: Amen/Amenworld

[Chris Slothouber]

Personally, I would never consider a vendor that does not at least have 
a cursory knowledge of the platform I was using on a leased server.  If 
they are miles away, I want someone with a clue to be my eyes an ears in 
the event of an emergency.

I'd recommend going with a host who supports FreeBSD.
