uklinux sucks

So - I have finally managed to leave uklinux. It has taken since October (it's now nearly February) to move two simple domains from them (they use tucows/opensrs) to another outfit that can host the domain names (just DNS not the sites themselves) who also happen to use opensrs.

Why would I want to do this? Well, I was paying for hosting that I didn't need (not their problem, but it was a prerequisite to have a couple of domains) and they never ever answered any emails (seems that they were actively blocking them without bouncing).

They have been running the same scummy version of php and mysql for years.

They broke and didn't fix the phpmyadmin interface (thus making it practically impossible to manage the database)

I can say this now, as I have finally broken free - they can't break my stuff any more! (I think)

Geoff (respect!) actually managed to sort the problem out and allow the domain transfers to take place, but despite many many promises I never received a call back from Lance.

Now, I can't be *too* hard on Lance, as he is responsible for much of what CentOS is today, and I use CentOS on a daily basis - but I just wish he'd returned just one 'phone call.

End rant. More updates to this site, and to the sites of Linus and Gabriel should follow.
