I have 6GB on my plan, and even that is very generous. I rarely need
to store large files as this is mainly a webserver. Personally I
would suggest using Debian which is a meer 95MB to begin with. I
prefer it as you have complete control over what is installed and what
isn't.
Well, I was thinking of Ubuntu.
The added bonus of Linode is that they have real swap space. I've
used VPS's before where you don't get swap... if your server uses all
available memory then you're screwed.
With UML, memory is not really a concern as virtual server can use upto 100% of physical RAM. So even, if one has 80mb virutal ram, he may use more than it.
With Xen, the allocated RAM is the maximum. So swap becomes really important. I do not see how linode will consider the switch to Xen, in which case they are logically supposed to increase the RAM for all their plans.
And, I have come across another Xen hosting provider - http://www.xelhosting.com/ They give 128MB of RAM and their plans are relatively cheap.
Your suggestions?
