I'm using RapidVPS and thinking of switching to Gandi VPS because the
price is cheaper and I feel that Gandi is... nicer. Anyway, put aside
the system spec, is there more reasons to switch?

I have two servers with RapidVPS and just set one up here. The Debian 4
image here seems better set up, probably just a config file I've missed
on the RapidVPS side, but here numpad, ins/del/home/end/pgup/pgdn, and
cursor keys work properly (get all kinds of weird glitches with
RapidVPS), and the console resizes properly if I resize the PuTTY window
I use for SSH (On RapidVPS it wraps to the beginning of the line at 80
columns no matter what, and wraps to the same line, for that matter, no
linebreak). Ping to Gandi (from Dallas, TX) is around 120-160, ping to
RapidVPS ranges from 40-250 in 10 sequential pings. SSH on my Gandi host
doesn't lag at all, on my RapidVPS  host it sometimes lags quite a bit
(type and get response 3 seconds later). This may just be because Gandi
VPS service is quite new and not very populated.

Using 4 VPSs all different vendors. Gandi is quite nice. I had module
problems with one VPS and the support was excellent.

To me, no packet lost is good enough. :) (I'm easy)

I ping from three different locations to Gandi over 100+ packets.

1) Austin, TX  - 240 packets. 0 lost. About 150-200ms.
2) Michigan, US - 129 packets. 0 lost. About 100-130ms.
3) Cali, US - 109 packets. 0 lost. About 120-180ms.

They were all performed at same time. Price<=>feature ratio on Gandi is
unbeatable IMHO. Hope after beta, the price won't get jacked so bad....
or offer us a special lifetime discount. :)
