quite coincendentally, a client currently has a windows box, however
the app I'm building won't play so nice on windoze so I've told them
they should switch to a linux box with the same company, until they
told me said company is FH!

Any recommendations on a managed linux box with latest php5 and latest
mysql? I asked about budget and the response was 'Budget isn't a huge
issue, the most important thing is the reliability,
service etc.'. No idea on traffic requirements yet as they only have a
single page up now and have not given me any indication about
predicted interest (if they even could).

cheers,

jon
