Those SUN computers pretty much dominate the Internet ...but not the little Cobalt ones. Those are more like the My First Sony, Playschool version of a webserver. But they are imposible to mess up. It's like using a toaster.

you'd be surprised wiley. there are a lot of talented people out there. i've seen poeple do horrible things with toasters before.... (and for the sick fucks out there, no it had nothing to do with sticking your dick in the toaster or anything sexual for that matter). as for getting hacked when running a webserver, the riscs are absolutely the same and the chances of getting hacked are the same seeing as web server is rarely the vulnerability used (unless it's an unpached IIS ofcourse, hell not updated apache too). the only thing, sometimes webserver makes you a more interesting target to attack, thus attracting unwanted attention. as for road runner, i am pretty sure it's against your agreement but you should ask around see if anybody else hosted a webserver or roadrunner and if they got busted or not.

I know a lab manager at the Sun facility in the Interlocken Tech Park in Colorado. I've been in his lab a few times -- each of the big servers had several 220v power sockets, rows and rows of SCSI hard drives, and all the internal wiring (and most of the external, for the matter) was fiber optic. That and the whole room was chilled to about 50 degrees.
