If I got a Linode with 2 public IPs, is it any possible to run Ubuntu from IP1, and at the same time Debian from IP2? Or I need 2 linodes for that?

Thank you.

you need 2 linodes. you can 'switch between with 1, but you need 2 to run simultaneously.

yeah, I kinda figured out myself that's how it is. Didn't hurt to ask.

Or, if you don't mind having them share a process table and kernel, then you could run one along another in a "chroot" on the same linode.

Couldn't you run either of those as a XEN guest inside your existing XEN guest (linode)? It would burn resources to the ground but it would be fun to see a stack of XEN nodes.
