The fine print sez:

"Only accounts created after October 20, 2010 are eligible for the Offer. The Offer does not apply to any use of the AWS services prior to November 1, 2010."

So it's of no use to some of us (myself included), but it ought to help others jump in and test!

I actually wanted to play with the Fedora 14 bits over the weekend, but was unable to find the AMI IDs on the wiki or in a search. I gave up and used other distribution since I didn't feel like making my own image, but I'd love to know if these official ones are up any time soon :)

I was testing doing kernel builds using EC2, and I'd not really poked with pv-grub or SBS, but there's a lot of fun in EC2 now.
