I too, would love to see FreeBSD become a first-class citizen on EC2! As @colechristensen mentioned, you should contact cperciva (Colin Percival) about this -- he's already been doing some work on FreeBSD's Xen support and IIRC he's already talked to some people at AWS about "officially" supporting FreeBSD on EC2. I haven't heard anything for a while though, so perhaps you could use your contacts to get things moving (or moving faster). EDIT: You might be interested in reading/joining the 'freebsd-xen' and 'freebsd-virtualization' mailing lists: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-xen/ http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-xen/ http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-virtualization http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-virtualiza...
