Hi Guys,
I found a hosting company that offers VPS's and they look good however I need to make sure I get the best OS/RAM to browse through these proxies. I'll be getting 20 IPs on this VPS (only I will have access to them) and I'll connect to each IP one at a time while I am browsing (no multi connection thingy) so here are my options:
RAM:
-- 256
-- 512
(768 gets a bit expensive so I was wondering if 256 is enough to browse through these proxies? using one proxy at a time? Also I tend to think that I won't be using a Control panel so that the RAM won't be compromised, I'll only use root access through SSH)
Control Panel:
-- None
-- Cpanel
-- Plesk
-- Direct Admin
(I am inclined to select none since I'll only need SSH to configure Squid, besides I think that selecting a control panel will eat up RAM if I choose the 256MB option ... so as far as I can tell, no control panel for this is needed)
OS:
-- CentOS (4 or 5)
-- Debian (4 or 5)
-- Fedora (7 through 10)
-- Ubuntu (8 or 9)
(Since I saw a guide on how to install Squid on Ubuntu a few threads below I am inclined to go with ubuntu, I am also a bit more familiar with Ubuntu's terminal as well.... would u guys say this is the best OS choice to get squid running?)
SSH Tool:
-- Putty
-- OpenSSH
(I've used Putty on CentOS but I dont' know if It'll wok on Ubuntu or if I need to get a windows version for OpenSSH since I am using XP to connect to this Ubuntu based OS I mean if Ubuntu is the best choice of OS above)
Thats about all I need help choosing, the RAM, whether or not I should get a cpanel (hopefully it is not needed since I have ssh), the OS in which is easier to install/config Squid and the tool to access Ubuntu through SSH
Thanks in advance for all ur help/suggestions
