It's neat. I get a free micro-Linux (10GB storage, 15GB traffic/mo) to do basically whatever I want

I chose the one running "Amazon Linux" but it just seems to be a basic Linux box. uTorrent server for Linux installed fine and I see packages for Apache, MySQL, etc. available. Box only has 600MB or so of RAM so it's kinda limited but gives you the idea of how the "cloud" works
