Can you help me understand the implications of this? I'm new to Linux, just getting together a Java-based web application, which I want to deploy on Amazon EC2. Having seen that Amazon's own AMI's favour Fedora, I bought some books on Fedora and started learning it. I am dismayed to read that Amazon EC2 is so far behind in terms of the Fedora upgrade cycle. What do you advise? Should I persist with Fedora, and learn how to prepare a Fedora 12 AMI from scratch? Should I instead jump on the Ubunto band-wagon? I feel the same pain, Jeremy.
