[R-SIG-Finance] some notes on using R in Amazon's EC2

[Robert Grossman]

This is a follow up to a lecture I gave at the recent R/Finance 2009
Conference in Chicago
http://rinfinance.quantmod.com/.

I have prepared some informal notes for those familar with R but not
with Amazon's EC2 service about using R with EC2.  Please see:

There is also a publically available Amazon AMI with R and several
time series packages installed.
The manifest is "opendatagroup/r-timeseries.manifest.xml" and the AMI
instance “ami-ea846283″.  The notes contain more details.

I'll be revising the notes, so I'm interested in any feedback.
