I was mistaken last night (probably a little tired, been driving all day) - we use RedHat for the support and because the software we run usually only officially supports RHEL and maybe Debian. My bad. Alec

We use RedHat, although we make a fair amount of custom RPMs. It's just too much having to deal with Gentoo while maintaining high performance filesystems and schedulers, which are apparently a real pain. > Whilst research, I ran across a FAT PAYCHECK at a startup for Hadoop expertise (California) : "Extremely competitive pay: 150-175K base salary, large bonus plan, and a generous equity stake" Lolz, a few of the full time staff regularly get headhunted for similar positions. I'm still a student and would like to finish the degree, though, so no high paying jobs for me yet. Alec

Which operating systems does you Hadoop systems run on top of? Whilst research, I ran across a FAT PAYCHECK at a startup for Hadoop expertise (California) : "Extremely competitive pay: 150-175K base salary, large bonus plan, and a generous equity stake" http://www.cybercoders.com/principal-software-engineer-backend-technology-agnostic-job-157829?jobId=EON-1157039&ad=recruiticsindeed&rx_job=19411798&rx_source=Indeed&rx_campaign=Indeed15&rx_medium=CPC enjoy!
