I host a couple sites on my node. But im new to the vps scene so i want a server that i can learn things on without having to worry about messing up my live production server

It's probably best to get another linode. While you could theoretically run UML or chroot or something, doing so would still affect the production server to some extent, and require a good bit of expertise to pull off. Since you're new to this, the easiest/safest approach is to have a scratch node you can wreck without any consequences :)
thanks
I am in the same situation. Though, I did not launch my sites yet. I want to make sure I understand and master the basics (at least).
As waldo said, you are encouraged to work on a local machine before putting your material on your vps.
