Mark, this is great feedback. To everyone else, let me get a little more explicit about our community support. We use Get Satisfaction: http://www.getsatisfaction.com/cloudera
You'll notice a topic for "Ubuntu support" - this is essentially asking for .debs - http://www.getsatisfaction.com/cloudera/topics/ubuntu_support If you want this, get on there and say "me too" - if you want another platform, say that too. Really - we'll listen. We're building this for you. We want it to be as easy as possible for developers to get up and running so when your managers realize how cool Hadoop is, they can consider the value of paying for additional support.
