I have run nutch (v0.9) on windows, linux, and solaris. On windows and linux, it was just a local, one-node setup. On solaris, we got a four-node setup running well.
Does nutch and hadoop run well (stable, not too much hacking) on a cluster of windows boxes? The reasons for this question are as follows: I believe I recall reading on this list or somewhere on the various websites that some have had difficulty running many nodes on windows boxes. We are setting up some nutch installations for which setting up windows servers seems to be the easier solution, since the users and powers that be seem to think that is the best way to go. Any thoughts? Thanks! JohnM -- john mendenhall [EMAIL PROTECTED] surf utopia internet services
