Nice, easy to use console too. So well suited for SMBs and VPS usage.

Well, they look professional.
-
After the first install, I did a yum update and the system was already totally patched on initial install. Woot. Small, but a nice touch.

Thanks for posting screenies.

The use of SSH Keys is very nice too and very much required for normal cloud usage. Without it, access would be a problem. With the integrated keys, you build an instance and can access it, without a password, instantly from your normal SSH client. I've gotten used to this with the enterprise clouds and it is a feature I do not like to be without. Very glad to see that here.

The support custom ISOs as well, which is a nice feature.

I like that we have IPv6 too. And Reverse DNS management too.

Some post install details:
# free -m total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 993 81 376 12 535 763 Swap: 0 0 0By default, no swap space is installed. Not an uncommon way to go. Only 81MB used after install process and a few packages installed (sysstat, htop, fail2ban, etc.) So this is memory usage after SAR is running.
EPEL is installed on initial install and does not need to be added.

Filesystem usage:
# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/vda1 20G 1.3G 18G 7% / devtmpfs 489M 0 489M 0% /dev tmpfs 497M 0 497M 0% /dev/shm tmpfs 497M 13M 484M 3% /run tmpfs 497M 0 497M 0% /sys/fs/cgroup tmpfs 497M 13M 484M 3% /etc/machine-id -

I would prefer a 100% clean, minimal install, but I guess I can do that with a custom ISO if I had to.
