Great tutorials should be concise. How concise? How about 27 words?
LowEndBox would like to give a shout-out to LowEndTalk member @skorupian setting a new world record for the shortest quality tutorial. It’s only 27 words!
We reprint the full text here, but first, some background.
If you’re not familiar with Kimsufi, they’re a French company that offers ultra-cheap dedicated server. They’re famous – or infamous – for their $4.99 KS-1 Atoms and how hard it is to find one. If you have managed to score a Kimsufi, and how don’t want it more, the process to transfer it to someone else who might want your precious KS-1 is not obvious.
@skorupian researched and shared how to do it. Check out the LowEndTalk thread and note that the bullets expand.
