Linode also supplies its own kernel. To be honest, I haven't looked at
udev, so I can't speak to what they're doing there.

I have to say, I'm pretty happy with my Linode. The reliability has
been excellent and, on the whole, they're pretty easy to work with.
The one time I've encountered difficulty was in that they are now
requiring working SSL certificates for additional IPv4 addresses. And
of course, getting SSL working properly on a web server is its own
special kind of pain that seems to cause lots of people lots of problems.
