if we going to talk box specs, here's mine:

p4 dual 1.26ghz, gig of ram, two 36gig 10,000rpm scsi drives in raid config.

i can get the nitty-gritty details of what i'm offering as far as upstream
if it's necessary.

possibly, but those could just as easily go on deouk

where's coldfusion in that list?  without it, weo can't go on that box.  so,
perhaps we're talking about hosting for different things.  the reason win2k
has been brought up at all is that nearly all cf hosts are running on win2k
and offer mssql as the database platform.  so, if we want to have weo/teo
setup so that it can go onto most any cf host, it should be ported to
win2k/mssql.
