Can you put some numbers behind "beefy"? How much network bandwidth per 
month? How much RAM? How much disk space? Do you have some I/O intensive 
operations you want to support? CPU intensive operations?

I love my Linode, but I don't work it very hard. I have the cheapest 
Linode, but when I need to move some data over the Internet fast, it 
keeps up nicely. I can move well over 8 Mbps without breaking a sweat.
