And the kicker: The AMI you suggest qualifies as free for a year with a new AWS account. Free hosting for a year to play around with Node. Thanks a lot!
Yes it does, but I'm having so much fun deploying these things, I've created more than one... =)
The last time I checked I remember all the Ubuntu images were too big to be completely free. They required more storage than the free tier allowed. Please, correct me if I'm wrong.
