Cool. I'll probably give something like that a try, which will be my first. I'm
on AWS. How do you like Linode?

Good job on your preparedness. So, what's your
cache setup?
One 4GB Linode with Apache/MySQL/Lucene, two 1GB Linodes with Squid
and a load-balancer in front of the lot. Pretty simple. I'd personally
have gone with Varnish, but Squid is fine too. The boxes are Ubuntu
12.04 servers, just using the distro version of squid3.
MediaWiki plays nice with Squid out of the box:
