   yep today linode.junc.eu is gone, no need for this vps anymore, i succesfully   
   did a dd o that server to my new home asus pn50, where i can mount it "mount   
   -o loop -t ext4 ddimagefile /mnt" :)   
      
   on windows i had hoped for rufus would do this aswell, but non bootelble   
   ddimages is fatal, lol

   i need to pay less on linode.com now :)
