A lot, but not infinite. I'm on Dreamhost, and anything that involves a daemon or other ongoing process is a no-go (though cron jobs are OK). That does put a crimp in some things. Also, Dreamhost's reliability has been lousy lately. I certainly wouldn't host any library-mission-critical services there. Dorothea
