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.

White Paper
Private PaaS for the Agile Enterprise
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?

readers choice
I didn,t get a chance to vote but I would definately give my vote to Sranton Karate School for #1 martial arts school go Master Frank.
favorite podcatcher
I'd like to suggest that you ask for a favorite podcatcher
(mine's Gpodder). I second the proposal above to include
favorite Linux podcast as a question. (I'd pick
TheCommandline.net although it is more generally
oriented to technology and software not just Linux.)
Will there be an Editor's Choice this year?
Emil Volcheck,
Charles Village, Baltimore, MD, USA
No Vim?
Why is vi on the list, but no Vim? Didn't Vim win the favorite text editor award as recently as 2005?
Survey Choices
How about "Home brew" or "made it myself" for choices of desktop/server makers. I only bought a BRAND new laptop and have had so many problems, it was ridiculous the cost to DELL.
Going back in time
Gosh, when was this survey posted, in the year 2000? Neither of my two favorite programming languages were listed, Scala & Groovy.
Revision for next years awards
Next year could you include a "no prior experience" option in each category?
I haven't had very much experience in servers and revision control nor have I been
able to buy a complete computer at once so I left many questions with "no comment"
and I expect many others have done the same.
No email server category?
How about an email server category?
Why do the email clients get all the limelight? :-)
Disclosure: I work tirelessly for Xandros, the company that owns Scalix and Scalix would be a very strong contender in the email server category.
backup software
Arkei is my preferred backup software.
CMS
JustPageIT has a larger installed base than some of the CMS's that made the list.
irc client?
I really like weechat, sad to not see it on the list.

Favorite Podcast?
How about what's your favorite Linux podcast?
(Linux Outlaws)
What about VIDEO???
I've been using Cinelerra and OpenMovieEditor with Great Results, with Kino for getting video from Camera, on UbuntuStudio's 64 but optimized kernel. Let's start promoting Video a little!
Thanks!
Netflix Roku is myFavorite Linux Device
I wonder how they missed it? It was even on many top lists last year.
Geany wasn't there! So it
Geany wasn't there! So it went into other at least.
No "other" in monitoring system
I would have picked other and write "hobbit" or "xymon" (its new name). It's a great tool
It seems a bit strange
It seems a bit strange that AbiWord and Gnumeric are two separate entries, but OpenOffice is a combined one? As AbiWord and Gnumeric tend to go hand in hand, shouldn't they, sort of, be combined in the Office question?
I was surprised that git
I was surprised that git wasn't listed in the revision control category.
You're right
Good catch. Since we *just* posted this I went ahead and added git under revision control. Thanks for pointing that out!
