i found a tute for it(amazon's aws service) on lux's site.. but the tute is from the perspective of a linux user.  i have a wife, children, drink alcohol and don't live in my grandmother's basement.. therefore I have no use for linux.  amazon's support is pretty good so i'll see what i can do.. for low usage they do have a free option and you only pay if you go over their fairly generous free limits.

 

edit for your edit sbt.. that's the tute i saw earlier.. as i mentioned.. no linux to be found in this house
