A couple friends of mine just had their work firewalls cranked up and as such they can't access thing like Facebook or Gmail from their work computers anymore.
So to circumvent the firewall I setup a server that is running two virtual machines for them so they can remote desktop in and use a browser to check email etc.
Anyways, I got thinking, we have questions here all the time about accessing Gemstone from work or accessing the PC from work etc.
So I got to thinking this might be something other people want to use.
So just checking on interest of something like this.
I was thinking about making them be Server 2003/2008 not sure yet with 512mb of ram per slice and like 20gb hard drive space.
Of course if you do stupid shit like download from public torrent trackers I will kick you in a heart beat.
I was thinking it might run you a million or two prime silvers per slice, per month.
Thoughts?
