I have a linode for my totally inactive blog and a small project I am working on. We also just migrated all our servers for SWIX to linode VPS's. All in all linode has been a pretty great experience.

The linode library is pretty helpful too, especially if you are fairly new to linux or systems administration.

I also use linode and enjoy their service. Their outages this year have been in Dallas. If you are elsewhere, you've been less hard hit. Even in Dallas, uptime is ~99.8 or so.

I use Linode from their Atlanta DC. I have their Linode 360 option and it runs 12 websites with mysql and mongodb very very smoothly.
