FreeBSD on EC2 (Xen) is not exactly simple or stable though (and I'm a huge FreeBSD advocate!). The current stable way is to setup a windows instance, and then replace the hard drive image with a FreeBSD one, which is run under Xen's HVM rather than paravirtualized Xen, which makes it much more expensive, and you are charged for a windows license you aren't using! I wouldn't use it in production, not yet. Maybe when 10.0-RELEASE comes out.. Cheers Tom -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
