I want to use Hacker News' open source software to build a link sharing community for another industry. I followed the instructions on the arc github page and was able to get a clone up and running on my local environment. I was wondering what the next steps were.
What kind of hosting is required for this kind of a site (since arc is a bit esoteric)? If we assume that I have substantial traffic, is it best to go the cloud hosting route? I noticed Hacker News itself is hosted with ThePlanet, should I do the same?

For any kind of lisp hosting, you're pretty much on your own. It depends on how serious you are about doing this, and how big the starting community will be. If it's a work thing, talk to your network guy about getting a server provisioned. If it's a personal project, you should really consider a VPS server; something like Linode or Slicehost. Note that these aren't specifically Lisp hosts; they give you a bare metal Linux server and let you do what you want with it (including hosting Lisp apps).

I am trying to replicate an ubuntu OS which is has (NAT,Firewall etc) setup.I am trying to find away to install a preconfig os or the os image in production, to avoid installing and setting up manually in each and every machine.Is there a way to solve this problem?
Thank you
Two methods come to mind--both variations on a theme. There may be other better methods that others know of, but lets at least start with the following.
Method #1. Assuming that the hardware is exactly the same between systems, you may be able to copy an install from one disk to another (or clone it using 'dd').
Method #2. If you are using virtual machines, you may have a master copy that you copy as needed (instead of identical hardware, you have identical virtual hardware).

I’m setting up a server on openshift. I’m on the Bronze Plan and have a pretty common setup, I assume. Tomcat 7 with a MySQL database, scalable cartridge, so nothing fancy. I’ve been able to setup the custom domain and I am aware of the missing SSL certificate. That stuff is pretty well documented.
But I could not figure out how to get mails working. I’m not talking about sending mails from the application itself, I’ve seen questions covering that topic. I mean mail in general, all mails from and to the domain (I’m more concerned with to the domain for now). I for example need a working info#speedapp.io mail address.
Sorry if that is bluntly obvious to anyone else. But I’m coming from a shared Tomcat hosting provider, where the web frontend for mails was already configure.
You need to sign up for email services at a third party host, you can not use OpenShift to host your email.

Besides impressing benchmarks,
does anyone really uses G-WAN web server?
(except of cource gwan.ch and trustleap.com)
G-WAN is a freeware, that means that people are not under the obligation of paying a license to use it for commercial purposes.
Having participated to write some of their code, I am aware of Web sites using G-WAN for different applications platforms:
auctions
advertising
yellow pages
social network
geographic maps
multimedia streaming
trading.
But this is merely my personal experience. I must say that G-WAN has allowed me to do things that could not be done with other servers like:
using cheap virtual servers where I would have had to use dedicated servers
using the same Web server to create applications in different languages
creating applications which rely on different programming languages
test code modifications without having to redeploy packages or modify configurations
-etc.
G-WAN, at least for me, has been a game-changer.
I do not understand the comment of "Virtualeyes" since my customers did not pay a dime to the G-WAN author. I just paid him 149 CHF, not because I was obliged to do it but rather because I wanted to thank him for the hard work.
By the way, that's Linus Torvalds, not "Linus Torvolds".

When I browse my home network with a bonjour browser, I see this _acp-sync._tcp bonjour service beeing advertised by all my AirPort base stations. Can anyone give me any insights on what this is for?
The only likely reference I can find for an ACP protocol is in the man page for natutil:
natutil uses the ACP protocol to detect, configure, and extract status information from Internet gate-way gateway way devices (IGDs) (such as AirPort Base Stations) on the local network.
I doubt you'll find out much further about it without firing up a packet sniffer as the dearth of information about it is a good indicator that Apple want to keep it proprietary.
Of course, I'd quite forgotten about that feature of Server. And Lion now contains the natutil(8) utility in the client, with more documentation (but inaccurate control of Airport base stations). _airport._tcp uses same port number (5009). Sadly, the IANA registry contains very sparse information on the formats of the TXT records in either case, so we lose beyond this point. :-(

I'm looking for a Mercurial hosting which is free. (I'm only a student right now.) And it seems like it boils down to Bitbucket or Project Hosting on Google Code. (Other suggestions are welcome.)
So, how do these services compare in terms of features and service?
Update: Kiln is also a strong contender (I use it myself) and I thought I felt I should mention the name in the question. In terms of features, the strong integration with something strong as FogBugz could be a major plus.
Your choice basically comes down to whether you want it to be private or not.
If you want it open to the world you can't go wrong with either.
However, if you want it to be private you should go with bitbucket. Even then you are limited to 2 users in a free private repo.
My guess is you want it to be private and free (since you're a student) so your only other option there is to host it yourself. This would be a great option if you can pull it off. Remember, you don't need to have it hosted on a server to share and merge, there are plenty of commands for sharing patch sets through email.
Kiln http://www.fogcreek.com/Kiln/StudentAndStartup.html is another option you can get for free since you are student. Run by Joel Spolsky's company I believe.
JavaForge is another option to consider if you are looking for free Mercurial hosting. You can have private projects and it has all the features mentioned before. Even better, it supports Git, SVN and CVS (even mixing them within the same project) if you want to freely experiment with (D)VCS.
