Thanks for including Mahout. As a point of strategy, wouldn't have better to just build a debian package repository and a script for installing packages? That would allow people to use their own debian or ubuntu based distros for their own special needs such as hardware virtualization or special

Yes. It is impossible for me to correctly spell when correcting somebody else's spelling. I think that this follows from the general karmic principle. On Thu, May 3, 2012 at 9:36 AM, Sean Owen sro...@gmail.com wrote: *V*owpal Wabbit ? :) On Thu, May 3, 2012 at 5:32 PM, Ted Dunning

A distro would be good and if it was made into an Amazon Machine Image so we can spin it up and use it _without_ having to install it, that's a good thing too. So the best approach is always both! brbrbr--- Original Message --- On 5/3/2012 11:42 AM Dan Brickley wrote:brOn 3 May 2012

Assumed this question was coming. I had given this a lot of thought. I have this crazy notion that nothing should ever be installed and bootstrapping is really annoying. I felt it was easier to just launch an AMI.yet again, why not just repackage another image. The automated build nature of

A machine image is not the only deployment model to be sure, but is the kind of deployment model you need if you're offering something as a cloud service. I'm a big fan of the AWS Marketplace which of course is based on this kind of model. (I'm also about to make the stand-alone Myrrix server

Exactly. Start with something like an Ubuntu LTS release. Work your magic on it. Then release the AMI publicly for others to use. Mahout et. al. was born to run in a cloud environment anyway. brbrbr--- Original Message --- On 5/3/2012 12:06 PM Nicholas Kolegraff wrote:brAssumed this
