Hi all: I'm gearing up to build an Amazon Machine Instance (AMI) for use in doing Numpy/Scipy computations on the Amazon EC2 cloud.
I'm writing to ask if anyone has any advice for which (if any) publicly available AMI I should start with. If any one has any specific AMI's that they think are good bases from which to modify -- or really, any other advice about using numpy/scipy on EC2 -- I'd love to know. Beyond that, even if you don't know which AMI to recommend (or even what an AMI is), I still would like advice about which Linux flavor to use. I've had some experience with Mac OSX (and, with David Cornapeau's help over this list, I was able to build 64-bit Scipy with Python 2.6!), but I really know nothing about what the build process is like on Linux (and most likely, unless someone recommends a good AMI with optimized BLAS/LAPACK already built, I'm going to have to built it from scratch). So, should I use Ubuntu or Debian or Fedora or Centos or ...? Thanks! Dan
