I am maintaining a server on linode.com. It is a fun experiment... a little scary at times. On this server I am running the following software:

• Linux (Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Server Edition)
• Apache 2 Web server
• PHP
• MySQL
• WordPress

(There is a lot more than that, of course. I don't know what I am doing. Someone else set up this server for me and I am slowly taking over the maintenance of it.)
