Bye bye Slicehost, Hello Linode

In my tradition of switching hosting providers and blogging about it, I’ve now made the switch from Slicehost to Linode. The bang for the buck is slightly higher- I’m getting 512 MB of RAM instead of 256MB, and 15GB instead of 10GB of available disk space. It also seems a bit more developer friendly with options like PV-GRUB. This move was also relatively hassle-free because the setup and config on the server remains nearly the same.
