[Ubuntu-SG] New to singapore

[Muhammad Heidir]

Hi Ben,

I deal with Linux blackboxes for the past 5 years ranging from custom built BlueCoat Proxies, Barracuda appliances to Imperva SecureSphere boxes.
They have been very useful stuff. Some customisable some are not.

The best thing I ever did was to have one in AWS where it is currently hosting my personal/family site. Its a reliable OS if you know your way in it. But sometimes, its flaky when too many customisations are being done.

Let me know what you are looking for and I’ll try my best to assist you.
