*cough*

Please ignore those.  They were an experiment which doesn't currently work.

 Those are both public images. I haven't tried them yet but if someone 
 managed to run netbst I think we're quiet close to have some fun on 
 FreeBSD now.

Not necessarily.  NetBSD's Xen code is rather better than FreeBSD's.

RE: FreeBSD on EC2

2010-10-31 Thread 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 ?
