I decided to use the provided machine Images, windows and redhat. It was trial and error to find one with basic install and a default password. Hopefully they are better identified now. Took me about 2 hours to get it going. Fun project. My total cost was < $10.<br>

The process with run on rhel, but they are only certified for a very old<br>

pre-release.<br>

Anyone have any experience with Eucalyptus or EC2, and does anyone thing<br>
RHEL 3 or 4 would be a showstopper in a vm?<br>
