Linode plus iPad plus Wireless Keyboard

So, I am primarily a Mac user, my main phone is an iPhone 4S, I use an iPodtouch for my music & podcasts and I watch Hulu and Netflix on my iPad. So, to write a short blog post about Linux may seem odd to me.

I actually have an Ubuntu VM I use on occasion on my MacBook Pro, and it does do some things very well. I have had the chance to meet the gang from Linode at POSSCON in 2011 and 2012. They offer a great Linux distro hosting service, and I recommend checking it out if you are in the market or are interested in a web hosted Linux distro. I also came across this nice article on Linux Journal about a guy that switched to Linode hosted Linux VM and connects to it with his iPad.

If you live in the eastern part of the US, I highly recommend attending POSSCON in 2013.
