i use GAE heavilythe biggest reason to not use GAE is if you want an
app that does complex queries - you just can't do complex queries and
roll-ups on GAE. there are other freedoms that EC2 give you that if you
have the IT support to run them it might be worth it. i am wrestling with

wow, really, so did you actually install freebsd on your EC2 harddisk slice
because i don't see freebsd under the amazon EC2 operating systems. i do

and with that freebsd install, did you install and use a relational
Looks like there are a couple community AMI's for CentOS 6.2:
