Cool news, but their website now has the same lame design as DigitalOcean. I liked the old site layout better.



Looks like library.linode.com has the same format, and is still the same fantastic resource.

I'm embarrassed to say that once upon a time I used library.linode.com to help walk me through my first Linux server setup... running on Digital Ocean. Yes, I felt like a complete douchebag. I wanted to use Linode but I was one of those $5/month people.

However it left me with a sense of obligation to give Linode business someday when I could justify/afford doing so. It looks like Linode just gave me the opportunity to do that.


Yeah, the library is really excellent - easy to follow and very extensive. It's smart of them to do paid crowdsourcing to create the articles.

It's cool of Linode to make the library available to everyone, not just customers.


DO does the same thing, does it not?


DO do the same thing, plus they get paid for articles.

Shame browsing it since the redesign is a complete clusterfuck between articles and community forum posts!


Me too, but fortunately their administration system is still old-school.

I think their platform needs some love, it is a bit clunky to work with sometimes. But they are my favorite host.


What makes it lame?


Yeah, I don't think its lame at all. Its much more modern and nicer.

But that is funny, they copied so many aspects of Digital Ocean's design.
