Just wondered if anyone knew of others I could
review.

I'd say diginode.com looks to be a very good provider. So far their sales team has went the extra mile for me and I am going to be ordering from them soon. :)

LT-Trel, thanks, but I'm NOT looking for ANY reviews.....

But, since you mentioned diginode, let me state that
I feel that they have a VERY misleading statement on
the opening page of their website that states:

"instant OS install (with 20+ OS to choose from*, installed in 5 minutes), "

*
Fedora Core 1 & 2
Red Hat Linux 7.3 & 9
CentOS 3.1
SuSE Linux 9
Debian GNU/Linux 3.1
Linux Mandrake 10
Arch Linux 0.6
Gentoo Linux 2004.1
Trustix Secure Linux 2.1
SoL 18.0
OpenBSD 3.5
FreeBSD 4.10 & 5.2.1
DragonFlyBSD
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3
Solaris 9
Windows XP Professional
Windows 2000 Professional
Windows 2003 Server
------------------------------------------------------

After questioning SALES about autoinstalling WINDOWS they responded:

"We are working on that system."

OK, then WHY have it listed ????

dinix (http://dinix.com) is pretty sweet

ServInt is by far the best choice for VPS solutions.

I believe that only UML based VPS services can support this feature. Virtuozzo-based VPS products support only Linux OS installations.

i think that they are the only 2 providers that offer such feature.

Thanks,

I've done ALOT of looking and I think you are right.....

ALSO,

For those of you who mentioned OTHER VPS providers,
I am interested in ONLY those that offer what I mentioned
in the TOPIC, the ability to automatically install a fresh OS
from a list of DISTRIBUTIONS (mainly Linux) using a special
control panel......

I actually have a VPS account with Servint, they provide GREAT
service and Bob Farmer is always VERY helpful !!!

But, I am ALSO looking for a VPS plan to PLAY WITH by using
the AUTO INSTALL feature of the OS, so I can take a whack at
something knowing that if I break it I can reload the system myself.
I could setup a system here at my office to do the same
thing, but that would not be as much FUN :D

I love my JVDS vps! Rus is very helpful.

www.linode.com is great - I'm not sure how it compares to diginode, but we've been very happy with linode since we signed up 9 months ago :)

Oh yea.. Just thought of another one..

Check out the rootfs command in http://www.bytemark-hosting.co.uk/tech/adminref.html

I believe that they have 4 diffrent distros.

Bytemark Linux is actually RedHat linux :)
