Does anyone of you use the Amazon EC2 service with gentoo-based instances? |

I just dig into the provided services there and wonder how to possibly |
| 4 |
find a useful use case for me. |

OK, I could rent a High-CPU-instance and emerge libreoffice in a few |
| 7 |
minutes maybe ;-) |

But I am interested if any of you use this and what for? |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Especially: are there gentoo-based AMIs to be recommended? |
| 12 |

I assume that it won't make much sense to try to setup a mail gateway up |
| 14 |
there ... moving IP-adresses etc. seem to make that rather inconvenient |
| 15 |
and a plain VPS somewhere might be better and cheaper? |

Another case is S3: I research stuff like s3fs and doing encrypted |
| 18 |
backups via duplicity and even amanda (using S3 as storage). That looks |
| 19 |
promising for some use cases ... |
