At one time I thought of trying to adapt ParallelKnoppix to be able to
do clustering on EC2 similar to what is described at
http://www.datawrangling.com/mpi-cluster-with-python-and-amazon-ec2-part-2-of-3
but I came to realize that using a live CD approach is probably not
the efficient way to go, given that the machines that run EC2 have
given specs. Live CDs are intended to run on heterogeneous hardware.
An AMI image can be a lot more specialized, using a tailor-made
kernel, etc.
