So that's six positive responses. I think that's enough to at least give it a test run. It may take me a week or two to get everything set up -- if you're interested, watch this space.
amonkie, that's actually an interesting thought. It wouldn't be that hard to set up rackmount server or two, toss Xen on it and end up with 20-25 virtualized instances. Teach people the skills they need, and give them a sandbox to play in. If they bork it up too badly, just re-image the instance and you're good to go.
It would take a fair amount of startup though, especially if you want these things publicly routable, and even in a city like Toronto I don't know if there'd be enough demand to actually make it profitable on it's own. Assuming such a thing doesn't exist already, which could actually be the case.
That's leaps and bounds beyond what I'm actually thinking of, anyway.
