I'm sure you already know this, but for the benefit of others, users of Debian-based systems (yes, some of us do develop on Linux :) can apt-get a package from the projects repository[1]. Installing the package is enough to get a completely functional node suitable to develop against. [1]: deb http://www.apache.org/dist/cassandra/debian unstable main -- Eric Evans eev...@rackspace.com
