So I kicked off some Centos 5.2 images from RightScale and moved everything over. This is going to cost RedHat, since now I've used the Centos images and they half the cost and just as nice. I doubt I'll be going back to using the expensive RHEL AMIs.

I guess I'll use both, but ElasticFox is much much faster.
