Hi Ian,
I'd strongly encourage you to reach out to Linode support (I've found
them very responsive and helpful) and ask about BSD.
I believe you can do a micro install of something on one vDisk and then
use that to boot strap install something else, possibly anything else.
I think I've even heard that you could get Windows installed via their
GUI web console. - So I expect that BSD should be fairly easy to do.
I personally am planing on resizing a couple of VMs to a larger size w/
more CPU & disk to do a Gentoo install from my old CentOS. Then I'll
switch the boot disk, and ultimately remove CentOS & shrink back to the
current size.
So, don't give up on Linode yet. I bet you that they have a way for you
to run BSD.
