Thank you a lot! This saved me a lot of googling and tweaking. I’m using ipeer.se as a VPS supplier, and it more or less exactly matched your “problems”.

Thanks again.

Its not necesary to install the whole language-pack-en, its about 163megs of useless junk, dictionaries for openoffice, thunderbird etc.
just run:
sudo locale-gen en_US.UTF-8
or whatever locale you want

I’m running kernel 2.6.18.8-x86_64-linode1. I’ve had no problems going 64-bit at all.

I’m using the Linode 540 plan at the Fremont datacenter (the one closest to me). My largest concern is memory usage in traffic spikes, other than that WordPress+WPCache has fairly low requirements.

Which bandwidth option did you use for linode.com? 720? 1440? I’m really curious about this. I have no clue as what sort of load this site gets, but I read it fairly often.
