another format maybe? but make sure that you have serial access before upgrading! provider: edis.at cheapest VPS ever (i just love their support) id you have money to go for a dedi, then go for it and don't even think about VPS PS: i think that KVM (my host has) is better than XEN. Also you have VNC access (even BIOS) :) (\_ /) copy the bunny to your profile (0.o ) to help him achieve world domination. (> <) come join the dark side. /_|_\ (we have cookies.)

And still demanded by many on servers.
With suns you can access bios over serial. You need networked KVM for that on PCs.
You can set screen output from bootup onwards to serial rather than VGA.
Granted the serial mode doesn't help untill he's up and running again but he could take the opportunity to switch provider if possible.
arpnetworks.com solution is pretty cool. I'd use it if I had more faith in VPS security over bare metal.
