I've been working on my solo web start up full-time for about 2 months now, and so this post is about the software, programming platforms/frameworks, operating systems, websites, and apps that I use to stay fast and productive. The startup is Refynor.com

I've been building my next startup with nothing else than AppEngine and Notepad2.

It is that simple to start your own business nowadays.

cool! Are you going it solo or with co-founders?

With a cofounder. He is in charge of business, I do the coding.

Google AppEngine is really an interesting platform to use for a startup. Have been noticing a lot of people here in HN use it for theirs.

Why are you paying for "CentOS?" Does Rackspace charge for different distributions? If you're going to pay for a distro then might as well go for the source and pay for RHEL.

I'm basing this from your comment: "CentOS 5.4 - pretty much an exact replica of RedHat 5.4, so there's lot's of online documentation and help. Plus, it came as an inexpensive option with Rackspace. :)"

He's not paying for CentOS, he'd have to pay for RHEL. It's an extra 3 cents an hour.

I equate inexpensive with a cost. Am I misunderstanding something here? CentOS is a free distro.
