Cool news, but their website now has the same lame design as DigitalOcean. I liked the old site layout better.

Give me my beveled borders back!
I'm embarrassed to say that once upon a time I used library.linode.com to help walk me through my first Linux server setup... running on Digital Ocean. Yes, I felt like a complete douchebag. I wanted to use Linode but I was one of those $5/month people.
However it left me with a sense of obligation to give Linode business someday when I could justify/afford doing so. It looks like Linode just gave me the opportunity to do that.
It's cool of Linode to make the library available to everyone, not just customers.
Shame browsing it since the redesign is a complete clusterfuck between articles and community forum posts!
I think their platform needs some love, it is a bit clunky to work with sometimes. But they are my favorite host.
But that is funny, they copied so many aspects of Digital Ocean's design.
