Given the variety of Linux distributions as well as desktop managers, it can be valuable to have a generic solution for provisioning a Linux desktop on Amazon EC2. A GPU-backed instance reduces the computational requirements from the client (local) machine, eliminating the need for a local discrete ... Read More
