I just spent an hour installing and documenting every step of a new 12.04 deploy for my rails-powered API.

I wanted to do this on FreeBSD! I check HN mid-install of a bunch of software and boom what do you know. Time to start over!

That being said, there seems to only be one result for FreeBSD in the marketplace, from our bud cperciva. I'd really love to deploy a base 9.0 on a Small.

You can run FreeBSD on an m1.small, but it costs more (Windows license) and isn't in the marketplace.
