Yep.
If you need access to more computing power, you might want to
consider using Amazon's EC2 (they have preconfigured AMIs for Hadoop
but
youd have to configure and install Mahout, a process which I'm not
totally
familiar with as of yet as I'm still trying to do it myself).
Please add to http://cwiki.apache.org/MAHOUT/mahoutec2.html if you
can. Given a Hadoop AMI, it shouldn't be all that hard to setup a
Job, I wouldn't think. Would be good to have a script that does it,
though.
