[Box-Admins] Fwd: Server migration

[Chris Muller]

Hi Levente, I heard something about Docker containers which are like a
Squeak image except for an entire Linux server configuration.  It can
be dropped into several different hosting services...

docker.com

Do you know anything about this or does it sound like a good idea?

Ok, so to confirm, we should close the Hetzner account completely?  I
want to be completely clear that's what I should do before I do it. :)

Understood.

Well, these donations come and go.  Right now, Rackspace seems the most
willing to give lots of donated VPS.  Once upon a time, it was Gandi who
was giving the most.

It's tough to know, but given that Squeak is pretty short on funds, I
think going with free is the way to go, so I think migrating to
Rackspace is the right option for now, when you have a cahnce.
