You can install using the following sources lines: deb http://people.apache.org/~eevans/debian cassandra/ deb-src http://people.apache.org/~eevans/debian cassandra/ This Works For Me and should install on unstable, testing, and stable but it's preliminary and not well tested. If you encounter problems, please let me know. [1] http://debconf9.debconf.org -- Eric Evans eev...@rackspace.com
