would probably be a lot of work for you.
I mean the cheapest slices over at Slicehost are $20/mon and that should be pretty decent for experimentation puporses. Granted 256mb of RAM isn't a lot but hell I managed to get Firefox to start...

Apropos the discussion we had earlier today: do you want to be the guy who cleans up after the guys who are either insufficiently invested in the idea of owning a startup to pony up $20 a month, or alternatively are so unskilled that they cannot find $20 a month of gainful employment?
I'm serious about this. If someone is so painfully shy or otherwise socially incompetent that they know no one who would give them an account then how are are they going to deal with cultivating customers or buyers?
If their issue is that they just don't have the right friends, then I'd think the right answer is to start cultivating geeky & entrepreneurial friends for the sake of just connecting with some like minded people. Helping facilitate that sort of thing sounds like a fine thing to experiment with, being able to offer them some free server space would just be gravy.
In the 'developed' world probably fewer but it would not surprise me if there are thousands of people in a situation where a free server would just give them the leg up they need to get to 'ramen profitable'.
