Mine runs Gallery2 to share our (far too many) family photos: http://pictures.donsbox.com/

I also use it to:

stash files I need to share with friends/colleagues
run a mail server
host a (possibly soon to be public) Gentoo portage mirror
use it to keep my ffox bookmarks in sync (using webdav + bookmark sync and sort plugin)
distcc for my many Gentoo boxes
shell account

2 forums, a couple IRC bots, my friend's stuff (with free hosting), a wiki, a jabber server, and that's pretty much it.

Mainly personal stuff

- Hosting blog and projects (and some friends)
- Subversion repos
- screen/weechat

I use my Linode to host:

- oldos.org (phpbb3, pwwiki) & about 10 other website
- a node of the irc.r-type.ca IRC network
- neoportage (formerly fluidportage) ... which is the SVN/CVS ebuild project for Gentoo
- no-sources kernel patchset (obsoleted and mostly dead)

Other than that, I use it for a general shell server, proxy server, and other misc things I might need at the time .

Does your recursion make you have a Linode 3 to back up Linode 2?

I use mine for personal use mostly. xmpp (ejabberd-svn), website for various blogging ideas that I generally don't have time for, file serving, and a bunch of other random things.

Am I the only one that finds it odd no one has yet to mention "torrent leecher".

Linode #1: BIND/Apache/PHP Forty gaming websites.
Linode #2: MySQL
Linode #3: nginx Static Client websites/OpenFire

2 Linodes 720's

Linode 1:

Primary webhost for my Eve-Online Alliance
Seconday nodes for Teamspeak/Jabber and node Eve-Online NC killboard

Linode 2:

Primary Jabber/Teamspeak host
Primary host for Eve-Online NC killboard (runs on 5 nodes)
Nagios

I use my linode as a remote linux desktop, general server/programming stuff and am current running a left4dead server.

~19 Websites (5 active, 14 parked/proxied)(collectively well over 170k hits a month)
-Drupal, osCommerce & Gallery

CentOS
MySQL, Apache, PHP, Perl, Postfix, ProFTPd, Virtualmin, etc.

Running on a Linode 360.

Impressive considering it took a dedicated server with 1GB of RAM to run all this previously. (and it was still underpowered)

Digital Deviation - http://digitaldeviation.com

Linode 360 running a web site for a cross gaming guild. (http://oi-guild.com). We have 900+ subscribers but realistically 400-500 active users.

Using: SuSE 11 with MySQL, Apache, PHP, Perl, Exim, VSFTP, Dovecot, Firehol, etc.

We got sick of web hosting and went VPS so we could run whatever we wanted. Linode broke the price point barier of $20 a month and with the long buy discount we couldn't refuse. The whole thing is payed for by donations from members.

Performance is through the roof in comparison to the old host and we havn't seen any SQL errors like we used to get - lots of web hosts use mySQL servers that you share with who knows how many people and the damn things time out frequently. I used to get 40-50 emails a day from this. I have gotten 1 error email since and that's because I had a typo in a script I wrote.

Also: these forums have been a great soure of information.

Two of the three things that should convince anyone to sign up. Great performance, awesome support, and the best community.

I use linode 360 for openvpn proxy when I am using open wireless.

Our Linux user group has a Linode 360 to run our web site (MediaWiki, Apache, MySQL), mailing lists (Mailman, Postfix), and IRC bot (infobot). The only unexpected downtime was a reboot when we were migrated from UML to Xen, and it went completely unnoticed by anyone until I was checking logs several days later.

I also helped a friend set up two forums (PunBB, Apache, MySQL) on another Linode 360. These were previously on Dreamhost - someone else's badly-behaved script on the same machine was causing it to freeze up and reboot once every 24-48 hours. All they could offer was maybe to migrate his site to another server at some unspecified time in the future.

Both sites only consume a small fraction of the resources available.

Me, I run Drupal on a Linode 720, currently one active community Site http://www.rejecttheherd.net primarily for a social, political and what not. It's starting to grow with more users and hits.

I also have another site strictly for personal use only. I then have a few other domains parked for when I get some time to develop I'll get them going.

Great speed for a multi site Drupal install, I'm extremely pleased with the performance.
