I already offered my machine as well. It's running FreeBSD with all the 
usual hosting gubbins installed and people are more than welcome to have 
accounts on it etc etc.

Is yours running on a leased line or a DSL connection? I did have mine 
sitting on a DSL connection but found my browsing habits could turn the 
machine into the slowest thing on earth, so it's housed in a nice little 
ISP in Sheffield now.

I won't worry about this being read the wrong way, now we are on the 
SlugBug list and we're all happy chappies :)
