|
|
| I'd like to run an existing Ubuntu (x32) and a new Ubuntu x64. I have already created the new disk images but not sure how to get both up and running. Is it possible to do it using the same Ip? |

| You can only boot one configuration profile at a time per Linode. While you can configure more than one Linode to be able to bring up a given IP address (for HA configurations), you cannot run more than one server instance simultaneously on a given Linode. |

| Or you could chroot the 32-bit one under the 64-bit one. |

In some crazy case you can do the reverse. Setup your 32-bit linode normally then switch the kernel to a 64-bit one. Once you do that you can setup a 64-bit chroot.
I know it's nuts but it does work. There are others that also run it like that where they have 64-bit kernel space and 32-bit user space arrangements.
Obviously it's probably preferred to have it the other way around. |

| Even more crazy: run OpenVZ inside your Linode, and fire up as many VMs as you want. It would be actually quite fun to see 8 x 64MB VMs running inside a Linode 512, although disk contention would be terrible. |
