Jason, are there any ebs images on amazon that you can recommend for using build couchdb on ? chris recommended a couple but they're not ebs, I looking for an image that i get get a small version of, as some images oonly come in large... even though i've had a lot of trouble trying to use build couchdb, it seems like a really good idea and i assume it will only get better with time
