How To Set Up Your Linode For Maximum Awesomeness

Might I make one suggestion:

Make sure your SSH port is below 1024 (but still not 22). Reason being if your Linode is ever compromised a bad user may be able to crash sshd and run their own rogue sshd as a non root user since your original port is configured >1024.
