Really? It's news when a VPS provider adds a new image? Heck, in that case... http://blog.linode.com/2010/04/29/ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-lyn... was announced yesterday.

I was talking the the Rackspace dudes at PyCon (I'm a Slicehost customer since before they were bought) and apparently the same backend infrastructure is cheaper if you buy it on a 'Rackspace cloud' branded plan rather than a 'Slicehost' plan.

That's not necessarily true, because the RS Cloud rates don't include any bandwidth while the Slicehost rates do. Depending on your usage, Slicehost can be cheaper.

I don't get it, admittedly this is a fast turnaround by Slicehost, but how is this news for discussion ?
