[melbourne-pug] First meeting for 2010 next week!

[Nick Mellor]

Thanks Rasjid, good point: no, it doesn't have to be in Australia, though it
would be nice to give an Australian company the business.

Do you think 512K RAM would be enough for an Australian subset of open
street mapping (OSM) running on PostGIS? If you have experience I'd be keen
to hear it.

Thanks,

Nick

Did you need the server (virtual or otherwise) to actually be in 
Australia?  If you are okay with the US, at ServerAxis 
(http://www.serveraxis.com/) you can get a virtual linux server with 
512MB ram for as little as USD$15 per month.  Or if you are happy to pay 
a bit more for a great control panel and great support, I can recommend 
Linode (http://www.linode.com/).

Maybe someone else can suggest Australian options....

Cheers,

Rasjid.
