[Catalyst] Dreamhost for Catalyst

[Thomas Hartman]

I use dreamhost as an easy way to get wikis/svn/other goodies running.
Svn with web access is especially nice, still haven't figured out how
to install this on my "real" server (at linode).

However, for actual catalyst websites, I have a virtual server at
linode.com, where I have a root account for less than $20/month.

However, I think you will get people telling you that it is possible,
they do it all the time for their clients, etc. So maybe I'm just an
install wuss.

But... my experience was definitely better with a virtual root server.
