Free Hosted TrixBox to play with...
Submitted by bubbapcguy on Wed, 08/23/2006 - 2:04pm.
OK, Folks time to play..
If you wish to play let me know
I am going to drop 2 server in the rack
P4 2.xx / 2 gig of ram server running the free VMWare server.
I will setup four images on each box (the NV /VMware I am hosting on pbx.mississippi.com) per server.
I will set them up with DNS records (pbx1 ~ pbx8@mississippi.com) MX, PTR, Rdns...bah...bah bah
I will offer these to anyone who wish's to test the TrixBox in a real world setting.
the cost to you is ZERO.
the hosting company (mojomonster.com) I use is donating the rack space and bandwidth for one month atleast... maybe more, if we do not abuse this.
If you are a full time member of this forum and would like a VMWare system to play with let me know.
I am looking for folks who really use the system and report back to the forum. Each person know wants will have atleast thrity days on the system, if at the end of the 30 day's the host allows the boxes to stay, I will do this again...If I do not have any one else waiting on a box, the 30 days will roll on..
As per the hosting company I will need to get some info on you..
This will be passed on the the hosting company for there records
Real contact Info in case of problems (like you try to use the system to SPAM folks or as hacking point)...
you will have total and complete control of the VMWare system.
and you will be able to backup your config to move to a system else where.
All I will do is set the default root password, the rest is up to you.
At the end of 30 days the images will not be "reused" they will be deleted form the system or if I can work it out, placed for download on a FTP site for 48 hours that you and only you will have access to so you do not have to redo.
There is nothing in this for me, well very little cost, I am just giving back.
I was hoping to have the system in place by this weekend...but I had to work (pay the bill's)
I will be ready by the 1 st of next month (when the 30 days start)
Get on the list ASAP, the first 8 on list will get the first 8 systems.
I am here most mornings (CST) a few hours on and off (3:00 a.m. ~ 9:00 a.m.)
edit:
Yes, That is my real email in my profile..but that system is tight on spam (qmail by inter7) so if you sent me email and I do not response it is because your email provider is not setup correct, it is not on my end.
P.S. I am hoping the hosting company will offer a path to upgrade to a hosted box on one their real servers at a discount as well.

Ok please use the forum to ask questions
DO NOT EMAIL ME with questions which would apply to all.
(and for those who a finding out my phone numbers..DO NOT CALL ME ON THIS I work for a living and this is freebie...do not abuse it)
1. Yes you can change the passwords, in fact if a could I would force you to if I could.
2. No, I do not work for Mojomonster.com, I able a customer who does alot with them (I provide some tech help for them at times) so i get a little help from them.
3. If you have a VMware image you have setup, I will do my best to allow you to use it, you would need to zip it up and make where I can download it with WGET. (note this may push you to the bottom of the list)
4. I was hoping to use 256 meg of ram, and I have idea how big the harddrive is on the image (I do not have the TrixBox vmware running so I can not look).
5. I think the month charge for a hosted VMWare image is 49.00 a month...but as I am not the host I can not quote anything to do with that..
6. YES FREE Means FREE..no I do not need nor do I want any credit info on you
7. There is no catch to this, I had the systems just siitng here unused, I was going to ebay them, but I was thinking this would be a good thing to with them until I got around to posting them for sale...
I am just giving back..that is all nothing else...
so you paranoid folks please do not bother me with your fears..if you do not wish to do this then go away, I will not steal any info from..
