Prometeus OVZ0 Plan ($9/year)

Hi there, I purchased this server yesterday from @Prometeus through a inbox session of fun!

Specs:
128MB Dedicated Ram
128MB vSwap
6GB SSD Disk Space (I assume so, judging by the IO!)
256GB BandWidth
1GBIT Connection
$9/y +21% eu vat

It's based on OVZ, and I am using it for a standalone web-server to host my personal website; chriseaston.info -- I'm currently using Debian 6 32Bit and used Minstall to minimalise the installation and optimize some common processes.

Firstly, the I/O is insanely fast. The network is on a 1GBit network and I often get 71~mb/s cachefly downloads. Here's my "bench.sh" output.

Secondly, I found the range of options of OS's a great help. Here's a screenshot.

I do also assume that he would install more images upon request, but CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu are the main ones, and the most used, perfect for "most" vps users.
Thirdly, the amazing support from @Prometeus has been IMMENSE this guy is so dedicated to what he does, he's an active user of LeT and really nice to talk to through inboxes.

A point to make in regards to "low" network speeds to some locations, is that this VPS is located in Italy, quite a lovely place, but unfortunately, is not "Bandwidth" central and doesnt appear to have a thousand and one ways out of the country to access other networks.

Prometeus if and when you read this, could you give me some insight into the exact specifications of the server, like SSD model, etc.

Thanks!
