Hi all, just wanted to bring to your attention the following :

Sometimes on the Launch Instance Wizard of the AWS console when you search

with "cloud biolinux" (or any other term) it takes a few minutes to

bring up results since they have tens of thousands of images in their

database ! I think also on the console the regex matching is totally

off. So I use the command line tools (couple of matched omitted cause they

are forks from other groups):

> ec2-describe-images -a | grep BioLinux
