I'm starting to use the EC2 cloud (as are others) and noticed that all the available CentOS images seem to be of dubious origin. I think it would further the reputation and popularity of CentOS if it were represented in an official way. In case people aren't aware, when you create an AWS (Amazon Web Services) account there's a management console that shows a list of available images. Of this list, some are published by Amazon, others are uploaded anonymously, or you can upload your own. Given the dubious nature of an anonymous image and a lack of an Amazon image for CentOS, I'm left in the third camp - creating/bundling/uploading my own. Luckily I have the required 64 bit hardware to generate a 64 bit image! Selfishly I'd love to just start up an existing image published by centos.org but one's not available. Interestingly one is available from Amazon for both Fedora and Windows. Jason
