Checking Linode's web site just now it looks like they have removed
physical machines as an option.
Try SoftLayer instead for physical machines delivered on-demand :

If you're looking for low cost virtual hosting alternative to Amazon,
try Rackspace.
Different providers offer different features too. For example Rackspace
allows you to add SSD persistent storage to any node (at a price)
whereas Amazon currently doesn't offer that capability.
