Splitting Ram

It's not currently set up for this (nor will it be).

There are more resources involved than just RAM. A 360 split into 5 instances might only consume 360 megs of RAM, but it would consume 5 times as much CPU, and increase disk contention significantly.

This would make sense except in the instances in which you have a system that doesn't need all the RAM that is available to that instance, but that you would still like to keep separate from other instances… I guess Linode doesn't quite fit what I'm looking for.

Thanks for the quick answer.

You could potentially run Linux-VServer inside your Linode, it might not be quite what you're after - but it would allow you to split a single Linode into several virtual servers.
