RUNT - access by invitation only





RUNT is a Linux system which provides mail, web, and chat services...at no cost to its users. RUNT has been operational since the summer of 1998.

Currently, RUNT resides on a quad-core, 2.4GHz CPU system with 8GB of ram and a hardware RAID1 configuration; providing 1TB of mirrored storage. Shell access is available via ssh. At any given time, RUNT hosts a dozen or so domains...none of which are for profit.



Access is free, but restricted to those people we know, or who have people we know personally vouch for them. Users are expected to behave themselves and to refrain from illegal activity. We reserve the right to revoke access at any time, without any warning, and without any explanation (although, we have yet to exercise that right).



Over the past decade, we have maintained phenominal uptime and have never experienced data loss due to hardware or OS failure. However, we do not provide any availability guarantees...nor do we backup ANY of your data! Additionally, if we host domains for you, you are responsible for your own DNS management. (we will not provide DNS services for you)



Rack space, connectivity, and power for RUNT is provided by Lifeline Data Centers.



Email spam filtering and anti-virus services are provided by a McAfee Email Gateway appliance.



Perimeter security services are provided by a McAfee Enterprise Firewall appliance.
