You may now want to change your Linode VPS's name from the default `linodexxxxxxxx`. For instance you might name it `bitcoin-signet-pruned` to differentiate it from other VPSs in your account.

The last thing you need to do is enter a root password. (If you missed anything, you'll be told so now!). You'll also have the option to add an SSH key for the root user aat this point. We again suggest doing so for both security and convenience purposes.

Linode at this point offers a few choices that have changed over time, but currently include: disk encryption, VPC, firewall, and VLAN.

**Pruned Mainnet.** This will cut the blockchain you're storing down to just the last 550 blocks. If you're not mining or running some other Bitcoin service, this should be plenty for validation.

**Signet.** This is the newest iteration of a testing network, where Bitcoins don't actually have value, and has largely surpassed Testnet. It's intended for experimentation and testing. Its big advantage is that its block production is more reliable that Testnet, where Testnet could stall out for a while, then produce a bunch of blocks together.
