I gotta say, even though Linode is the first provider I've had a VPS through, they kick ass.

Their control panel is boss, and adding units is apparently very easy (haven't messed with it quite yet). I'm excited to have beeets on there.

Having full control of the environment (and the fact that it's Slackware!!) gives me a boner. I'm on there tinkering too much. I almost hope the site never gets big, because once it does I can't fuck with it anymore (or I'll have to have a test machine, I guess).

Anyway, there's not enough positive information about these guys on the net. It was between them and Slicehost, but I ended up going with Linode because they were a) a bit cheaper, and b) not as "hip." I tend to shy away from trendy companies.

Good work, Linode. Keep it up. Oh yeah, and thanks for offering Slack ;)
