Its not too difficult to manage without cpanel; the hardest part for me was getting LAMP configured correctly and getting the mail server working, and cpanel wouldn't help with that anyway. Everything that you would use cpanel for (creating databases, creating email accounts, setting up subdomains, etc) does take a bit longer, but not much.

Not for nothing, but some of us are crappy sysadmins :). Cheers! Linode looks really cool, too bad they don’t offer WHM/CPanel preinstalled. Not for nothing, but some of us are crappy sysadmins :) .

I found one of the big advantages of a vps/server was it gave me an appreciation for the underlying stuff which made my scripts run. However I opted for a shared dedicated server with a group of friends in the end. It meant less overall control (new programs/updates were installed after being agreed upon) but slightly better performance than a vps.
