I'm trying to set up a masternode using this guide: https://darkcointalk.org/threads/how-to-set-up-ec2-t1-micro-ubuntu-for-masternode-part-1-3.240/

But, when setting up an instance in EC2, I can't find 'Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS (PV)' as is shown in the image in the guide. Am I blind? I can find 14.04, and slightly different versions of 12.04 (without (PV) behind it IIRC). Which one should I choose? Is there a more up-to-date guide?

Sorry for the noob questions.

14.04 worked for me fine with that guide. You can skip the compile as you're just going to download the binary anyway, but only do this if you know your way around the CLI as you'll have to ignore or change some later steps where you replace the compiled darkcoind with the binary one. If unsure just run through it all as is, takes an extra 15 minutes, no big deal.

Thanks. I tried 14.04 and when I was almost done with Part 2, I got an error that I didn't see explained anywhere. I'm going to start over and pay more attention this time.

Hey panicbuythenpanicsell, I had to figure things out myself and got unexpected errors too and found solutions on my own. If you post what error did you get I may be able to help if it happened to me too. Be careful not to post any private information but dont go over all of it again just because of an error. We are all willing to help.

I'm at the point where I have to run darkcoind, and I get the error:
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
  what():  locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid
Aborted (core dumped)

EDIT: SOLVED. I had to do this 'export LC_ALL=C' and then it worked.
