I've been wanting to try out BSD *nix for some time...
Community seems nice, I've spoken with admins regarding some registration issues and everything was sorted out immediately.
I'll probably pay for the background processes even if I don't need them, cause they seem like a nice bunch ;).

This is really cool of the people who put it together because from the looks of it they are trying to build a community over generating any sort of revenue.
They also activated my account right away which probably means they are having fun with it in their freetime.

oh man, that's really interesting. It /might/ even be a realistic fremium model. The only real question is how they will cheaply handle abuse. If they can keep their abuse handling costs down, it's possible that they'll do rather well with this.
But, I've found that charging massively helps deter abuse. Man, when I was doing the 'first month free' deal? that was bad for me. But maybe these folks can pull it off?
But certainly, dealing with abuse cheaply will be the challenge. if they can solve that, they may end up doing quite well.

Great service. Really impressed with the default app set and speed.
loving it so far, very fast.
I just signed up for an account. It seems fairly nice, but the big issue with shell accounts is whether or not they stick around. Their manifesto page (http://devio.us/manifesto) seems to indicate that they're taking this seriously, so let's hope they stay. (:
Well, you know the old saying, "promises of eternal free services and a dime will buy you a cup of joe" :)
