1) Average CPU Loads. What's the average CPU loads for your Linodes? On current machine it hovers sub .1 the majority of the time unless somebody else is doing something on the box and I've seen it spike 'quite high'.
The loadavg on the hosts hover between 0.0 and 3.5 (these are dual proc, hyperthreaded boxes, so that's right in the range). This pretty much means there's always ample CPU time available.
The only time the host loadavg goes higher than that is when the nightly cron jobs are running, specifically on L64 hosts, and the older hosts who still have lots of cron jobs that weren't removed from the template distros yet when they signed up. A few of the lower-number hosts (host3,5) still require host-kernel upgrades which will be coming in the next week or so, but that won't affect new signups...
The whole I/O issue is something I've spent a lot of time on improving (check out
this thread, and pretty much have it beaten.
To answer your question, loadavg on an idle Linode will be a big fat 0.

2) IPv6 Connectivity? Yes/No/In The Works?
Not natively, but you can do it through a
tunnel broker.

3) Custom OS, I notice you provide Debian Stable, if we wanted to run Testing/Unstable could we?
Yup. You can get any distro that runs the Linux kernel working with a Linode.

4) Backup, do you provide any sort of backup system?
No, backups are your responsibility.

5) DNS, do you provide a content DNS Services for domains hosted?
No, DNS you can manage on your own, either by running bind, using your domain name registrar's managed DNS, or ZoneEdit/easydns, etc.

6) Backup MX, do you provide a Backup MX service 'just-in-case'.
No, but a few fellow Linode members offer backup dns/mx. Check
this thread.
Thanks for your questions
