I've wanted to use EC2 for some projects, however I don't like using Linux, so if FreeBSD would work on EC2 it would certainly help get me using Amazon's services.
However because I am currently unemployed I do not have any money to put into development, and all my projects that require a positive cash flow have been put on the backburner.
- jaaron 17y agoOpenSolaris already works on EC2. Have you considered that?
- X-Istence 17y agoYes, I have, and I run an OpenSolaris machine at home as my file server. The issue I have with OpenSolaris is that if you stick to their /release PKG tree you don't get any security updates what so ever, if you however track the /dev PKG tree you get experimental updates, that may or may not break functionality you need.
