I actually pre-install a lot of services on my AMIs, but don't enable them. I use Necktie to enable MySQL on the db instance, nginx/postfix/etc on the app server instance. Obviously Ruby and Git are pre-installed, but also Vim, htop, bash_completion and a lot of other stuff. Since I'm running on Ubuntu, if I need to install or upgrade a particular package, I run apt-get. The ERB template is a good idea, adding to my todo list.

Do you install these by hand or do you have an Amazon instance with these installed that you use? - how do you usually install packages ie. I want to make sure that mysql is installed? And erb support along the lines of http://gist.github.com/215270 would be really nice :-) Keep up the good work! /Jørgen First of all, I think necktie looks pretty cool :-)
