Does Linode provide addressing through DHCP?

general

The reason I ask this is I found the following running on my PC. Now I never installed a dhcp client myself. Why might this be running?

Do I need to be concerned by logs like:

os -ef

root 19792 1 0 Aug06 ? 00:00:00 /bin/dhclient -1 -q -lf dhclient/dhclient-eth0.leases -pf /usrx/runx/dhclient-eth0.pid eth0

So our IP addresses are not static? but also do not change is that right?

Can anyone confirm this?

Default solution is DHCP. Linode addresses do not change and you can assign them statically if you wish. See this thread.

Unless you move to a different datacenter.

The best reasons for using DHCP is so you don't have to do manual work when you clone your linode or move it to another data centre.
