Informational thingy with 1and1....
unless you specifically buy a root server, which has no support, youdon't get root access. You can't do that much via SSH, certainly no installing/reconfiguring etc.
Also, I deal with a few linux servers, be happy to help here if ever needed in that department (if matt ever isn't around, or tires of it i suppose).
