I have been using NetBSD/xen-x86_64 for a couple of months and am satisified the flexibilty. (I'm using a faster and far less expenstive JP domestic NB6 service in parallel too). I would like to have a general suggestion for EC2 NB6 selection. Q. Is it worth choosing 2+ core service on EC2 for NetBSD/xen? I heard that NB6 xen can not utilize 2+ cores at a time. t1.micro is found too small, yet usable. m1.small looks ok. I've never tried 2+ core service so far. Toru Nishimura / ALKYL Technology
NetBSD 6 (and -current) can indeed use multiple cores on EC2. NetBSD 5.1 and earlier can only use one.
The NetBSD 6.0_RC1 AMIs will be available on EC2 in the next couple days. See: http://wiki.netbsd.org/amazon_ec2/amis/
