For those interested in giving this a try, here are a few additional suggestions from my recent experience.

There are less expensive alternatives to Linode. I switched to Loose Foot Computing (http://www.lfcvps.com) about a year ago and their service has been great. They often have promotional deals listed on lowendbox. See http://www.lowendbox.com/?s=loose+foot&searchsubmit=Find

tmux is amazing and takes care of window management. No need for dwm or xmonad anymore.

Lastpass integration with the browser works great with Chrome OS. This replaced keypassx for me.

USB tethering with my android phone "just works" to get on the internet.

Really happy so far. This is the right mix of easy, fast, cheap, and secure for me.
