Deploying .NET applications to Amazon EC2 - what AMI image to use?

Question

What AMI images do you use when deploying or testing .NET applications at Amazon EC2?

• Is this image based on Windows or Linux?
• Is it an image from AMI repository or something that you've built (if so, then is it public)?
• What version of .NET does it support (applies for Linux)?
• What other important features does it include?

So far I've been using Mono 2.2. on Fedora 8. It does the job, but I would love to see the options more suited for somebody coming from the MS Stack.
