Well, it's more of a pain to setup right. It doesn't take 10 seconds anymore.

Then like all cloud services, things get bad when you can't properly boot or start the network services. I used to run Arch with a more recent kernel and that kind of happened after an upgrade.

To be fair, I can understand why they don't want to support Arch as it's probably a bit of work, but they are also a cheap service, so some people (like me) like to have a little server running there just for personal stuff (IRC bouncer, ssh tunnel etc.). And in this case, you want something closer to your own system.

They still provide a good service in my opinion as I still use them :)
