Hi,

Static AMI's seems useful for people who just want to try something
out. Personally the Boxgrinder project is what I use to create new
AMI's.

Thanks
Petter

I have created a Scientific Linux 6.2 x86_64 Amazon EC2 machine image (AMI) and would welcome

your feedback.  The AMI currently resides in the us-east-1 (Northern Virginia) Amazon EC2 region.

If there is enough interest, I could easily publish this AMI to all AWS regions.

The AMI is ami-e2a0058b.

Feel free to contact me directly with any questions/comments.

Thanks for doing this.

Looks a bit heavy from my side-- most instances I tend to spin up hover between 200-300 packages installed.  Is this by design?

I guess my real question becomes "What's the intended use case for this AMI?"
