You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

- In your RDP client window, enter the IP address noted in Step 1, press Connect Button. You may get warning: 'The identity of the remote computer connection cannot be verified', click the Yes button to continue

- THE SCREEN WILL REMAIN BLACK FOR 40 TO 60 SECONDS!!!! This is the time it takes for the ec2-user desktop to be created and various settings made before your session can begin. PLEASE BE PATIENT!
When finished DO NOT LOGOUT OF THE MINT DESK TOP SESSION. Instead, simply disconnect your RDP client.

Tried this on a t2,micro. Desktop is slow and unresponsive. Not sure if its the size of the server or xrdp itself being slow.
