Exactly. I've got a few RS servers and think they are the greatest but if you aren't comfortable doing Kernel upgrades, installing firewalls, etc. - forget it.

Any time I have a "serious" issue (server lock up for example) RS typically reboots within 20 minutes but they don't provide any other support.

Wouldn't have it any other way but that is definitely not for most.
