Hi Steve. Thank you for the Southern hospitality.

I would prefer +nix over MS, with private ftp, e-mail redirection and PHP 
over ASP if they let me decide.

They look like places to avoid...

Are you into Linux? Me too. I've just joined TriLug. 

Thank you very much. I like to have more than a single choice.
