account credited during cancellation
I prefered creating a new linode, setting it up from zero instead of migration.
For this transfer I waited for the end of the month in order not to pay for unused days of Atlanta hosting.
But I just learned that whenever you cancel one of the linodes they credit your account for the unused days.
I remember cancelling a hosting account with an other company at end of the month and they charged me for the next month.
So besides Linode's technical expertise and support I like their monetary approach.

My old VPS company did that.. I like the human approach that Linode use.. Its not all about the money and after all were people not numbers
i looked at linode several months ago, with a view to migrating over from slicehost: i set up a linode and played about with it for a few days and then [as usually happens with me
fast forward to yesterday, when i decided to give the 'slicehost > linode migration challenge' another go. the first pleasant surprise i got was that my old login i created when i briefly visited here before still worked, so no having to set up all my boring account details over again. the second pleasant surprise was to find i had $7,50 credit in my account, from way back when i cancelled the previous linode.
i hope that's typical of the linode way of doing business - coz i'm liking it so far!
