Hosting?

Since I'll be moving to a new job in October, I lose my hosting abilities at my current work place. I am looking for a reliabe provider that sells packages that include root access to a Linux operating system (preferably Debian-based), including the ability to host DNS and mail, and other services of my choice. I would also need to be able to connect to the machine using secure shell, and make unlimited outgoing connections from the box. I do not have very high bandwidth or disk requirements. I prefer the provider to be either US-based, or located in the Netherlands (no preferences).

Any experience among the (few) readers of this page? Suggestions will be appreciated!

Hot, hot, hot and new job

It has been consistently hot in the Netherlands. Temperatures during the day climb to 35C (95F) and they do not drop much lower than 25C (75F) at night. Combined with the fact that pretty much no house here has airconditioning, we need to slow down significantly.

Also, starting October 1st, I'll be starting a new job at Northwave. At Northwave, I'll be taking on the role of information security expert/consultant. Northwave mostly focuses on the domestic Dutch market.
