I use my linode to run a fansite for actress Yvonne Strahovski (from NBC's Chuck -- http://www.strahotski.com).

It gets around ~1500 hits/day; up to 5000 on Chuck day. One time Sport Illustrated linked to the site, and we got 35k in one day. That was good times.

I'm running Lighttpd & MySQL, with PHP for Wordpress, Vanilla Forums, and Piwigo image gallery.

I just use Google for Domains for my mail needs, so nothing to run there. I regret that I set up the site on a 64bit system and some day plan on migrating to 32bit.

I'm currently considering buying a separate linode just to play with; I've had so much fun setting up the site that I want to play -- but I don't wanna bring down the site now!

So not really that exciting; just the normal stuff I guess.

Right now I'm posting to a blog, and I'm building some C++ server software, including a FastCGI framework that can be used to build C++ web-apps which strike a good balance between efficiency and development productivity. After that, I'll try out some more development projects I've been meaning to do for years, and have a place to show them off.

A friend of mine did this: http://docs.fredemmott.co.uk/FastCgiQt/ (Not Linode related in the slightest, but cool none the less :) )

For an idea of what this looks like in action, check out http://builds.slamd64.com. We use a git backend for the files, with tarballs generated from folders using FastCgiQt. It's nifty. Again, not on a Linode... though I'm seriously considering using it on mine for something or other.

I use my Linode for 3 domains, with about 20 vhosts, a mySQL server, a 16 slot HL2:DM server with 64 slot SourceTV, mail with imap access and Spam/Virus filtering, a BitTorrent tracker, 3D rendering for scenes my computer can't take :D and numerous other random things as and when I need them. All on a Linode 540, was a 360 until the Game server.

Just out of curiosity, why do you regret setting up your site on a 64 bit system?

Not sure what exactly Lykaons reasons are but these two threads give a pretty good idea about 32bit vs. 64bit (issue mentioned the most: 64bit uses way more memory).

Thank-you, this will really help, I am about to make such a decision - 64 or 32.

My primary reason is because I'm OCD and I like everything to be perfect. I chose 64 bit originally because higher is better right?

But then when I researched it I realized that higher isn't necessarily better and I don't have any real reason to have a 64bit OS running -- especially with so little RAM.

There have been no issues with running on 64bit. I just wish I had used 32bit because I would just feel at peace with things more than I do.

Wow, I feel like the only loner here.
My Linode acts as a shell, mud server if I ever get it going.
I haven't found anything else to run on it as of yet, but possibly sometime in the future.
I like to pretend I have more than one, but I'm beyond to cheap to own more, or I would.
I love the support, and usability.
