Thanks Justin. I launched a 2-node StarCluster with micro instances using the Ubuntu 11.10 EBS AMI yesterday and it worked pretty well.
t1.micro is perfect for testing, esp. with the free tier one can hack StarCluster for a year without spending any $$ at all! :-D

Just following up, there are new Ubuntu 11.10 EBS volumes available
that should be compatible with t1.micro. That being said, t1.micro's
are not well-suited for any serious cluster computing (1/2 of a
heavily throttled CPU core and 500MB RAM...) so I wouldn't recommend
using them except to test on the cheap....
