I cannot comment on linode as I'm not a customer. The info on the website
seems ok. But the prices are somehow laughable: I'm currently paying
EUR39 for a dedicated host (with at least 200GB traffic, I'd had to look it up 
60GB "storage", 256MB RAM and a 2.4GHz P4 CPU all alone to me).

That makes the 79.95 dollars for "Linode 256" somehow a bit expensive.
OTOH perhaps dedicated servers are really cheap in Germany ;)

Whatever, Andreas
