Hey there,

If you want to work locally, the so-called Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud
(UEC) system will do it, using Eucalyptus I believe. I think its fully
compatible with AWS EC2 and therefore Starcluster. You will need the
Starcluster AMIs, as noted by a previous poster. Hit this link and
scroll down a bit http://www.ubuntu.com/download/server/download

Grumble grumble *GENTOO* grumble grumble.

Cheers!
