[StarCluster] Using Starcluster with micro instances?

Just following up, there are new Ubuntu 11.10 EBS volumes available
that should be compatible with t1.micro. That being said, t1.micro's
are not well-suited for any serious cluster computing (1/2 of a
heavily throttled CPU core and 500MB RAM...) so I wouldn't recommend
using them except to test on the cheap....
