Happy new year everybody!
I'm sure you found my site offline quite a lot of times in the last week. I decided to format the whole server and to move from the UML virtualisation system to the more convenient Xen system, which is still in beta testing at Linode but full working for my personal needing. The decision to switch to Xen was because of its support to multicore CPUs, needed by a couple of applications I'm using for personal studies.
The linux distribution I've chosen is Debian Etch again, stable, quite fast and easy to be maintained.
The software has been updated and some security tips have been adopted, and thanks to the free resources upgrade by Linode, Apache server has came back.
I'm really enjoying my VPS experience =)
