Thanks for the recommendations. I hadn't really looked a lot into which VPS to use yet; I saw a post recently which linked me to Slicehost, so I checked it out without really having yet had the chance to do much comparison yet.
I just skimmed over the linode library that you linked, and I am impressed. I was going to ask you for more information about installing and securing Apache (nothing against ngenix; I just have more experience with Apache), MySQL, and PHP, but it seems they've beaten me to the punch. Though, if you do have recommendations for any of that, please do pass that along. More information is always appreciated.
