I had done some futzing around with EC2, but ExpoCal is the first web app I’ve brought up and run on it. Also my first outing with Fedora. Some links:

Amazon EC2 Getting Started Guide – very approachable walk through on get EC2 up and running
How I Set Up My EC2 Instance for Rails & Litespeed – bit more specific instructions, not entirely accurate
Fedora Core 6 Lite Base Image – simple, actively used AMI. The Debian images came with too many caveats.
Changing your mysql data directory – /mnt is the new /var
Dead Simple Deployment (with Mongrel and Rails) – basic Mongrel cluster instructions.
Time For A Grown-Up Server: Rails, Mongrel, Apache, Capistrano and You – never had much luck with Pen and co — Apache2′s proxying modules rawk!
Fedora memcache + drupal walkthrough – memcached on Fedora
Howto: rpmbuild – sudo yum install fedora-rpmdevtools
My Rails Toolbox

Also some yum’ed packages:

yum install sudo gcc ruby ruby-libs ruby-mode ruby-rdoc ruby-irb ruby-ri ruby-docs ruby-devel rsync ruby-mysql.i386 mysql mysql-devel mysql-server mysql-admin httpd-devel apr apr-devel apr-util-devel subversion libevent
