I've had no troubles using AMIs of the same Unix variant, right now, I have 
this in the US region:

ami-38c33651

It's a "tiny" instance which works great for testing, but I've noticed the 
memory overhead is so low -- that if you try to launch more than one 
application instance, you'll be unceremoniously killed by the Java VM and 
you'll not even get a backtrace. scary until you realize.

I've used various sizes and locations EU and US by altering my setup scripts 
successfully and without much trouble at all.

I'll try to capture some of this on the wiki pages later today.
