I love that idea, Eric! I've gone to an event & have done some reading but have never played with EC2 but I think about it when I'm doing something on my host & wonder what it'd be like to complete the same task using AWS.<br>
<br>I haven't done any SQL performance testing since using DH, James. My setup runs just fine but I don't have a large enough data set to perform an appropriate test. I'm pretty sure a few of the others who use dreamhost here do, though. :)<br>

I'm having fun with Amazon EC2. For a full-time server, it would cost<br>
more than the cheapest providers, but there are a number of advantages, too.<br>
<br>
There is a bit of a learning curve, even for an experienced Linux<br>
sysadmin, but I'm available to help if you need guidance on getting set<br>
up, especially if you'd like to use Ubuntu :)<br>
<br>
Perhaps some month we could do an SGVLUG "EC2 Install Fest" where we<br>
walk through signing up for AWS and starting a server (at a cost of<br>
$0.10 for the first hour).<br>
