To: mapreduce-user@hadoop.apache.org Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Anything that can comfortably run a JRE would do. I believe most use Ubuntu VMs but really, any fairly-modern-distro should suffice. My personal favorite would be ArchLinux (cause am comfortable on that).
