Slicehost: Boot your slices with your own custom kernel

Unfortunately, Slicehost is growing more and more irrelevant. I'll just have to bite the bullet and migrate the rest of my servers to linode...

wow you have been able to do this on linode for years :/

I am very surprised that Slicehost is still being updated. I thought that after the acquisition RackSpace was purposefully not updating Slicehost to get more customers to use their RackSpace branded version<p>This update make me wonder if Rackspace is seeing that there was more to slicehost then just the platform, and maybe considering focusing on the slicehost brand.<p>I still love the Slicehost docs and use them even though I'm on linode. If it looked liek Slicehost wasn't being ignored I would gladly move back.

Maybe I'm nuts but Slicehost for me still has the best stability of the various VM providers I use.

well, lack of that is why I left slicehost, but even EC2 allows custom kernels now. So a bit late, but glad people are seeing this as the important feature it is -- for quick security response if nothing else.
