These guys offer Just Virtual Dedicated Servers. Starting at $20, you can get a full-fledged Linux (Debian, RedHat or Gentoo); $15/month for a BSD (FreeBSD) system.
These guys give you root, a static IP, free backup DNS and mail, and tech support. Their prices seem pretty reasonable to me, as long as you keep an eye on how much data you are transferring (they also offer unmetred accounts, of course).

It’s fairly well-known that I’ve been opposed to calling Linux systems GNU/Linux: I have thought — and still do think — that it’s silly and incorrect (as there is more to a typical system than simply GNU and Linux).

Recently I heard an otherwise well-informed man refer to Cygwin as ‘the Linux toolset on Windows.

I’ve been rewriting the website for the Metropolis of Denver (warning: the current site is bad) and having an interesting time of it. I just spent an hour or so converting the M$-HTML front page into real, standards-compliant HTML and CSS. Not only does it look better and load faster, as well as play well with others, it is also ¾ the size of the old page.
I don’t know why more folks don’t write valid web pages.
