pv3d.org and forum.papervision3d.org temporarily down

I’m switching my host from my old mediatemple dv instance to a new rackspace cloudserver instance so my other domains (namely pv3d.org and forum.papervision3d.org) will be down for a little while. I have all my backups ready to move over, but mediatemple shut down my server before I had a chance to change nameservers, dns, re-install, restore, etc, etc, etc. (since this is a rackspace cloudserver, I have to install and setup everything manually through ssh which is fun for the first 10 minutes then gets boring and painful)

  2. Do you have any recommendations on where to learn how to actually set up a rackspace cloud server (or any server for that matter). My first (and only) attempt ended in pain and embarrassment.

    The knowledgebase on rackspace is good, although it does require a basic knowledge of ssh and how linux directories are organized.

  4. Yeah I saw the knowledgebase was full of info and I was actually able to set up ubuntu and the ftp client without any prior knowledge of ssh or linux. Think I just tried to run before I was able to walk. Any suggestions on where to start with Linux and ssh?

    I would say "trial and error", but unfortunately, the "error" part can be pretty devastating (and undoable).

    Sorry I can't recommend any good resources, you just kind of google for the commands as you realize that you need them. First "cd", then "ls", then "mkdir", etc, etc.
