[14:48] <amznusr292> hi guys.  is amazon a kind of 'ubuntu cloud'? (ec2 in specific)
[14:48] <amznusr292> I'm fairly new and will have some questions about setting up my ec2 instance
[14:49] <amznusr292> for one thing,  I logged in it said a lot of updates were available so I just typed "sudo yum update" -- is that the right way to do it?
