Looks good to me.. thought as a first time user of AWS, the process
of creating an account and the verification was a bit slow.

Also, when finally creating an account I've had no idea what to
actually select. I saw something about free Amazon Micro EC2
but no idea how to use it. Finally figured out that I am suppose
to use the "Classic" workflow.


Perhaps adding in a comment saying: "As setting up a first-time AWS account
can take sometimes a few hours, it is recommended that the user create this in
advance."

Also perhaps a link to do when nothing shows up. For example I just
created an ami-5f16d836 and all lights are green but I can't connect to it.
Perhaps some link to "how to get debug/bootup logs" from the instance?

Or how to add 'debug loglevel=8' to the kernel bootup? IF that is is
possible?
