We'll have to keep an eye out for any contact from Linode, just in case 
they get peeved about the usage.  The load average on the server is a 
pretty steady 4.00-ish, and I'm not sure what they consider to be 
"excessive usage" (I hate TOS'es that are vague about stuff like 
that...).  Even though the load is fairly high, the server doesn't 
"feel" like the miner is slowing anything down.

As long as we don't catch any heat from Linode, I may set up a miner on 
my own Linode VPS and pitch in.
