Any comments on relative merits/stability of uklinux.net and ukfsn.org? AFFS have had leaflets printed by uklinux.net and a donation from ukfsn.org, and I think both offer some things to free software projects.
The erstwhile Jason Clifford was with uklinux.net until he fell out with them because he felt they were not really funding OS development. You might care to look closely at the wording in their adverts. Jason started?/joined? ukfsn.org which is much more open about exactly how it uses what little profit is makes to support linux projects. I used to have an account with uklinux.net but no longer use it. I have a dial up account with ukfsn.org and when broadband finally reaches North Norfolk I plan to use ukfsn.org for that.
From the point of view of connection ease and stability, both have performed flawlessly.
