I know I'm late on blogging this, but I thought I'd better anyway. Last week Dean Wilson organised a talk that saw Jeff Barr talking about AWS. A very good talk and Q&A followed, which has already been covered here, with photos below.

Anyway, my good friend, John Hearns, suggested at that talk that you could build a Knoppix-like distro that contained all your AWS credentials so you could use your S3 storage directly. Well - the idea was so good, Jeff has mentioned it on the AWS blog. It's now likely some open source urchin :) will pick the idea up and run with it.
Way to go, John! I hope whoever does it will credit you with the idea...
