what? -we are putting JOS on amazon's ec2 -it's going to run a webserver as a proof of concept

why? -it's pretty cool -OS'es are cool -xen is cool -6.828 final projects are cool

how? -write a driver for our favorite nic. Seems like the e1000e currently -port some of libc into JOS to run our webserver -get some sort of socket interface running. bsd sockets preferred -port JOS over to xen since that what amazon runs

will all of the computers form a sinularity and conspire to extinguish the human race as a result of this? -depends on how many bugs I have in my virtual memory manager
