Linode Supporting LinuxGSM

Linode has been very kind in supporting LinuxGSM development by providing some great advice and servers to the project.

This has allowed the creation of reliable test servers for development. They have also given guidance on documentation and pointers on ways to help automate some game server tests. This has given some great ideas on how to grow the project. I got to speak with some really friendly and knowledgeable people. I look forward to continuing our partnership with them in tp the future.

So if you want to set up a new game server check out Linode. They have just released a new cloud management interface as well.
