FreeBSD on EC2

[Zladivliba Voskuy]

I'm trying to shake whatever I can to make whatever possible happen. Good thing you replied. Do you have any idea of a schedule when we could be seeing FreeBSD on EC2 ?

Opensolaris is dead, so apart from Linux no other Unix run in EC2 ; so I think this would be a good thing for FreeBSD to be there as much a good thing for Amazon to open up to other OSes than Linux/Windows. How much work is needed to make this happen ?
