I'm new to this group, have been working with Sage on Amazon "EC2" cloud platforms. It costs several dollars to build Sage from source there and I couldn't find a binary that would install on their current recommended Amazon Linux starter image. It's a stripped-down CentOS- derived thingy.
You can't build ATLAS on a "micro" instance because the effective CPU speed varies wildly, so you can't use your free-for-a-year micro instance to build it (not completely). It does run quite well in a micro instance once built -- it just slows way down if you run more than about 5 CPU-seconds of work at a time. Seeking opinions from those interested in such things: I can put up a pre-configured AMI (Amazon Machine Image) based on a good Amazon starter image with Sage, LaTex, and other good bits installed. Doing so will cost me a few buck up front and a few bucks a month, would it be reasonable to post the image through the Amazon "Dev Pay" service and charge a little bit for the use of it? Maye a $2.50 one-time fee?
