The blog post on Failverse is a tutorial written by a Linux Administrator on how to run custom operating systems on Rackspace Cloud Servers, despite the company's limited official support for different operating systems. The author provides a detailed guide on how to create a tar archive of the desired OS's filesystem, upload it to the Cloud Server, and then install it. The tutorial is not supported by Rackspace, meaning that if the OS fails, Rackspace may not provide assistance.
