And the kicker: The AMI you suggest qualifies as free for a year with a new AWS account. Free hosting for a year to play around with Node. Thanks a lot!

Yes it does, but I'm having so much fun deploying these things, I've created more than one... =)
The last time I checked I remember all the Ubuntu images were too big to be completely free. They required more storage than the free tier allowed. Please, correct me if I'm wrong.
The AMI is 8GB. The free, micro instance provides 10GB as described here: http://aws.amazon.com/free/.
