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

                      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.

                          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           0
                                  

                                  By 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.

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

                                          I agree, I am torn on this one. I don't see any packages from the EPEL installed, only the EPEL itself. So as non-minimal installs go it seems to be pretty tiny. But it is so easy to install when you need it that I agree, would be best to not have it, I think.

                                            This means things like Elastix should be a snap to setup on their infrastructure.
