Ok so i might have a job opprotunity, i would need to learn how to install hadoop on Centos.
I can find install guides for Ubuntu here
https://github.com/reddit/reddit/wiki/Install-guide
and for Fedora 13 here http://code.reddit.com/wiki/DependenciesOnFedora13

I'm trying to do this to be proactive and get a basic understanding of how things work with hadoop/cassandra.
Anyone know how to deploy it? Or know of any How-to-guides? This would help me out soooo much you have no idea. This is the big break that i really need to get my foot in the door as a Sysadmin.

sideinfo:this is for a junior position, they will send me to training for hadoop. I work for a contracting IT company.
Also i understand that centos is a descendant of fedora, however i want to be able to show the higher ups something visual, and something running on centos, not fedora(hopefully).
I don't know if they understand that they are similar, i also want something visual that they can see (reddit) that i can get working.
Reddit is a big name social website, if they can see (visually) that i have a server running Reddit on CentOS it would look really great for me to get the job. Thanks

Thanks in advance for all the help
