Jokingly I want to say the problem is that you selected Ubuntu (or any
other Debian based Linux) as your platform.

On a more serious note, if you are new to both Linux and Hadoop, you might
be much better off to select CentOS for your Linux as that is the base
development platform for most contributors.

Yes, I am very biased toward RPM based Linux Distributions.  YMMV. :)

Try the debs from the Apache Bigtop project 0.3 release, its a bit of
an older 1.x release but the debs would work well:

Hi JM,
I am just curious how did you test Unbuntu is not worst than CentOS?
