The Linode forums contain a wealth of handy information, both about Linux in general and about running a Linode. One caveat when looking through them: keep an eye on the date of a post before replying. Sometimes ancient threads get resuscitated, and they start showing up at the top of the recent activity list. That's when dogs start living with cats and confusion reigns. Welcome to the forums, crespowu!
