I've been a happy Slicehost customer for a long time, but I've heard good things about Linode and liked using them well enough during Rails Rumble...

This price difference is pretty tempting. Does anyone that's made the switch from Slicehost to Linode care to tell us about their experience?

Wow, that's really great. Makes me feel better about the outages we've been dealing with at the Dallas center.

Wow, a lot cheaper than Slicehost now. $20/month gets you 256 MB on Slicehost and 512 MB on Linode.

Not much to tell -- I switched because of price, and have been very happy. Good support, good community, nice docs (e.g. for things like upgrading OS images).

I did. Honestly, there was not much of a difference in service for me. Both services are top-notch.

I wrote a fairly well-received article about my switch. Since I switched, I have been happy with Linode.

Yeah, they've really been annoying, but other than those, I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Linode.
