title: SSH connect to EC2 instance of natty operation timeout
body: <p>Novice has been trying to ssh into ec2 for 5 hrs straight.  Could they make anymore unfriendly to newbies? Trying 4-5 different tutorials to no avail. I've saved cert and pk in 
  .ec2 folder and keypair in .ssh folder. Too many variables here (port authorize needed?, ubuntu uni/multiverse needed?, syntax issue?). Any ideas guys?</p>
  
  <pre><code>ssh -v -v -i *****.pem ubuntu@ec2-XX-XX-XX-XX.us-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com
