We'll see, indeed.
However, if you want to look into this, feel free to set up EC2 slaves.
I only know to setup mainstream Linux distros though (Debian- or Redhat-lookalikes :-)). I've just played a bit and, after the hassle of juggling with a bunch of different keys and credentials, setting up an instance and saving an image for future use is quite easy.
Starting with a mainstream distro doesn't seem like a bad idea. For example, there isn't currently a 32bit Ubuntu (any version) slave. That would be a nice gap to fill in, right? Jean-Paul
