Got mine, too! Thank you @Bluevm Justin!
I don't really want one of these, but now I know they're highly limited I kinda do.
This is why I have so many fecking video games too.
you need to install it first.. the OS does not come pre-installed. you also need to change the password before you can connect to vnc.
you also need a vnc client like ultravnc to connect to the server so you can do the netinstall.
As promissed, some benchmark (I am only interested in the network so I used @black 's test)
How I read it:
1. Network is far from impressive, even speeds in US close (this is buffalo) are at about 100 mbps port speeds, even tho there is an exception in chicago showing the port is of higher capacity, at least 200 mbps. Europe, even tho close to the east coast, more or less, is very bad, not going over 3 MB/s which decent networks should reach on the other side of the world. It does not matter, for this price is excellent;
2. The CPU is not overloaded, it is on par with fairly modern E5, even though it should be under some stress with installs and tests people do. I expect to stay pretty ok;
3. IO is not great, but more than enough, again, I expect to stay pretty much above 100 MB/s;
4. Not related to the test, but the IP is not in blocklists, I also dont need mailing, but I thought i would mention it anyway.
Everything is excellent for the money. As I said, not many companies will give you an IP for that money, not to mention a VPS.
I know, i have several KVMs and had some with bluevm before. But somehow I camt get network working
@trexos
Odd.. I just installed with virtio and works just fine..
have to say the box is pretty quick! hope it stays this way.
@nullnull , @trexos - I've already responded to both of your tickets... just waiting for a reply from your end to proceed.
@Maounique - Glad to hear it meets (or exceeds) your expectations.
As always, only thing that really bothered me was the "once down, needs me to reboot it" kind of thing. Let's hope that is cured
You'll probably just give it away anyway you selfish something-or-other.
That's what's actually stopping me, I might as well just give the price of the VPS straight to charity since I doubt I'll even spin this one up.
some luis123456 may need it. he loves freebies.
Luis can do one. He's never getting owt from me until he starts contributing something other than begging.
Quite nice for the price..
Tried it the exact same way and it doesn't work for me.
Check back the settings, mine reverted once out of the blue. If that is not it, then something went wrong.
Just for the record this was an issue on our end... he appears to have been doing everything correctly. These things do break occasionally
One question, here, maybe others see it and you dont have to reply 100 tickets, how do you unmount ISO? I keep recommending people to unmount it and wanted to follow my advice, but didnt find a way to do it, the button says mount iso and I cant select none.
@Maounique Just use HD to start, forget CD.
That is not the point. Leaving the iso mounted can create problems, for example if the image is pulled or upgraded in certain conditions, or the connection to the share containing the isos is lost, i have seen KVMs crashing for this reason. Why risk it when you can simply unmount it when done. I wont be needing any iso, besides, it uses some ram too.
choose "Unmount/Eject All"
This is going to be funny...

@Maounique - Been meaning to add an unmount feature for a couple of weeks. That said since you brought it up I took the liberty of doing it (and testing it). MorningIris beat me to the punch at replying about it.
thanks for replying my ticket and letting me know snagged a buffalo kvm.
@BlueVM, can you look into Ticket ID: 114861. I have been waiting to pay off the invoice as you respond.. TQ
Finally got one

Way better than earl's and mine in network. You are still in buffalo? What's your OS?
will post benchmarkl later
He probably added the KVM network hack ..
here is mine after..
I will order one
Anyone have a test ip?
Yup in buffalo, using centos 6.5>
I didnt use KVM network hack, everything on default settings
