Daily Giveaways the Entire Month of November
What does a Recompute DIY kit, a Brain Machine, and an Ice Tube Clock all have in common? The question is, Alex, What Are Things You Can Win From Linux Journal This Month. That's right, we're celebrating 200 issues in a big way this November and have rounded up some pretty cool prizes to give away each and every day.
Visit www.linuxjournal.com/giveaway for your chance to win. No purchase is necessary (although we won't be mad at you if you want to also subscribe to Linux Journal). We're not shy about giving things away around here, so while on many of the days just a single prize will be awarded, on some days we'll surprise you with a handful of winners. But you'll never know unless you enter to win. So go enter to win now. And celebrate with us. 200 issues? Pretty cool if you ask me.

Realizing the promise of Apache® Hadoop® requires the effective deployment of compute, memory, storage and networking to achieve optimal results. With its flexibility and multitude of options, it is easy to over or under provision the server infrastructure, resulting in poor performance and high TCO. Join us for an in depth, technical discussion with industry experts from leading Hadoop and server companies who will provide insights into the key considerations for designing and deploying an optimal Hadoop cluster.

If you already use virtualized infrastructure, you are well on your way to leveraging the power of the cloud. Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn’t scale? In today’s hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.
Stackato private Platform-as-a-Service technology from ActiveState extends your private cloud infrastructure by creating a private PaaS to provide on-demand availability, flexibility, control, and ultimately, faster time-to-market for your enterprise.

How to Build an Optimal Hadoop Cluster to Store and Maintain Unlimited Amounts of Data Using Microservers
Realizing the promise of Apache® Hadoop® requires the effective deployment of compute, memory, storage and networking to achieve optimal results. With its flexibility and multitude of options, it is easy to over or under provision the server infrastructure, resulting in poor performance and high TCO. Join us for an in depth, technical discussion with industry experts from leading Hadoop and server companies who will provide insights into the key considerations for designing and deploying an optimal Hadoop cluster.
Some of key questions to be discussed are:
- What is the “typical” Hadoop cluster and what should be installed on the different machine types?
- Why should you consider the typical workload patterns when making your hardware decisions?
- Are all microservers created equal for Hadoop deployments?
- How do I plan for expansion if I require more compute, memory, storage or networking?

Entry Form and Shirt Sizes
There should be a wider selection of shirt sizes on the entry form. Many of us Geeks are 2XL and larger.
Query
Do i have to register per day or just once?
^^
You must enter once per day
You must enter once per day for each item you'd like to enter to win.

For US citizens only?
The entry form says a State is required. I'm not from the US.
Is the for US citizens only?
No, you do not have to be in
No, you do not have to be in the US to enter. You may enter a province or other address info in the state field.

I think I entered...
Hitting submit gave me a copy of LJ Lite (I thought I'd followed the link to not get that..) and took me back to the form.
I guess that means it's submitted?
Thanks for the giveaways :)
Entry form(s)?
On the calendar-of-prizes page, it references filling out the entry-form. However, there's no link to the entry form(s). Am I missing something?
The big, red "enter now"
The big, red "enter now" button on the right.

Ah, THAT one...
Yeah, it was below the fold and by the time I'd scrolled down far enough to read the rules (distracted from the right by the calendar-o'-prizes content on the left), it had gone off the top of my screen. It might help to also hot-link it from the "submit the daily giveaway form" text in the instructions for those as unobservant (or easily distracted) as I am. :)
Thanks!
