Thanks. Those sound great. I am very language agnostic. So I just want to go with the language that has the most market share for the best reasons and then learn it if I don't already know it. My background is Microsoft Access with VBA, so I'm more than happy to learn something new, just as long as it can keep me employed on interesting web projects. It's probably the idea of Access putting an entire database application into a single file that made me post this question in the first place.
I have also used Java with semi-proprietary stacks, but that really doesn't make Java my preference. This is the first I've heard of Amazon EC2 or VMWare. The concept sounds great but my only reservation is that I haven't heard of them until now. I'll give the rails installer a shot just because I've heard a lot about that.
