How does this compare with EC2 for instance where we could potentially spin up a mahout instance running on hadoop for testing etc, has there been any discussion on running mahout on top of hadoop using something like EC2, I realize its an open source project so not sure if there are funds allocated to paying for something like this. Also not being familiar enough with the other Apache projects are there linux jails that are also available, I would tend to favor operating systems that are more heavily used in the infrastructure these days (ubuntu/redhat/centos 64 bit) unless there is a specific reason for favoring the FreeBSD kernel.
