Being a long time SliceHost user, when I finally decided to signup Linode two days ago despite its lacking of (official) backup capability, I wasn't expecting such a nice gift, which almost feels exclusive.

BTW, a quick hard disk benchmark test shows that my Linode is almost twice as fast as my SliceHost.

I've moved from Slicehost to prgmr to Linode and I'm happiest with Linode out of the three.

the I/O on Linode is faster, but it's still very slow compared to a "real" machine, but that's the case with any VPS at this pricepoint as far as I know.
