texte = Thanks so much for the clarification, Ken. It does make sense that a shared hosting account would not be keen on this. I'm a Mac OS X guy with not much Linux experience so the VPS route seems daunting, and I'm probably better off just upgrading my Mac mini to the latest Intel processor version and upgrading to v.7 when it's officially released, or identifying a WebDNA host that has done the same thing.

Thanks so much for the clarification, Ken. It does make sense that a shared hosting account would not be keen on this. I'm a Mac OS X guy with not much Linux experience so the VPS route seems daunting, and I'm probably better off just upgrading my Mac mini to the latest Intel processor version and upgrading to v.7 when it's officially released, or identifying a WebDNA host that has done the same thing.
