Hi, can somebody recommend a good company that would install FreeBSD 4.7R and give me full root access?
I need a few boxes with minimal downtime and a real tech-support.

Tired of getting an answering machine whenever their nets are down.

there are a ton of threads around about this topic

I'm sure there are a few more too.

As far as giving you root on one of their boxes, couldn't say. You should just get some of your own and rent a spot for them.

I know there are a lot of threads but most of them don't even talk about root access.
And way too many companies (for some odd reason) do not allow root access.

And those that do - usually only install linux.

I did think of that as I was replying, have you tried the sites of the many hosts listed to see if any of them offer what you are looking for?

In this case you may have to call a bunch of them and see what you can and can't do.

That's what I did.
Contacted most of them.

I just thought somebody here might already have a host they can recommend.

I'm just tired of dealing with one-man operations. They simply do not pick up the phone when there are any problems.
