Same here but I'm still holding out hope. I recently wrote a blog post comparing my experiences with both Digital Ocean and Linode and both companies ended up commenting on it. Linode hinted that there'd be a few changes coming soon that'd please me. Considering I mentioned RAM and pricing I want to believe they were hinting that they really were planning on bumping up the RAM for current customers. They didn't say anything we haven't heard them state publicly before but even so, I'm still holding out hope. I think more RAM is probably the number one request and they'd have to be living under a rock not to know it. So I'm hoping that maybe they're playing it close to the chest for now until all the other upgrades are complete and then maybe they'll increase our RAM when it's all over. Who knows. We can always dream.

Just seen this link to a pic on twitter lower down in this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5396634 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5396634 Not sure where that pic is from or whether it is legit, but if they double the RAM on all plans as it implies I'll be really pleased... there's some intriguing text top right too which looks like it might be some sort of stats monitoring system (longview?).

  I can "confirm" that double the ram is coming, they were handing out flyers at SXSW stating as such. Here is a photo I took in high resolution: http://code.mglinski.com/X3ps/30zoh6Yf http://code.mglinski.com/X3ps/30zoh6Yf Of course it is all still plans, but after talking with them directly about it I feel very confident they will be doing your ram junkies sweet justice once they have had the chance to move everyone over to the new E5 boxes. They had a demo of Longview on the show floor too, from what I gathered it is a package install based daemon to monitor processes and the like, something like the server part of NewRelic but sitting directly in their datacenters.

    okay I'm ready to ditch dreamhost PS for linode if they double the ram. basically linode is offering several fold more than what dreamhost private server is giving me for the same price. looking forward to this double ram.

    That's good news! They're just stringing the announcements out for more publicity. Thanks for the better pic.
