I have a VCII account on Pendrell. I don't even use it anymore, you just can't rely on it. Too bad :(

That's the problem, my VCII account on Bidwell is just so un-freaking reliable. I've moved davidcrow.ca to Dreamhost, and I am moving other 'critical' domains. At this point, I am starting to think about buying a dedicated server and co-locating it somewhere.

I actually have a Sun Cobalt 550 sitting here under my desk as I did the opposite and stopped co-locating. But that was just because I didn't have the time anymore and my admin decided to change careers.

Based on Ezra's accolades ( http://brainspl.at ) I think I might be moving to a VPS by RimuHosting
currently on bid(notso)well

I have a backup account on PowerVPS now, and they are pretty great as well. The VPS is almost as fast as my dedicated machine, and so much cheaper.

I have offered to TXD to help create a bullet proof setup guide for localhosting on Windows XP and Mac OS X. If a good localhosting setup guide existed for these platforms and covered SVN, Ruby, PHP, Apache, Lighttpd, python, mysql, etc. then 'monkeys' wouldn't have an excuse for developing on the production servers. Which in turn would reduce the amount of testing/deploying unstable apps to the production servers. Perhaps this could be developed collaboratively on a TXD wiki.
Would you/anyone be interested in contributing to a document like this?
There is a localhostin' section in the TXD forum but it is scattered and incomplete.

I'd be interested. Specially given that I was one of the 'monkeys' in the past couple of days that probably reduced the capacity of bidwell (sorry everyone). Though the difference is I wasn't developing on TxD, but I did have a good bug in my code.
I would love a best practices including promotion, i.e., rsync or other alternatives for moving code between dev and test.
