Well, in a sense, I can buy a RaspberryPi with the money of 2-3 months of linode (depending on the accessories you want)

But the "hard part" is not having the HW, but keeping it online 24/7. Geez, I don't even have DSL at home (long story)

With linode and others I can reinstall at the click of a button, I get a dedicated IP, etc

It may be easy depending on your situation, still, VPSs seems to have more advantages.
