There is also Debian for the standard Apache Cassandra build http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/DebianPackaging
Or you can use DS Community which is a totally free distro of Apache Cassandra http://www.datastax.com/documentation/cassandra/2.0/webhelp/index.html#cassandra/install/installDeb_t.html (Instructions for DS Community will work for both) Data Stax Enterprise is free for development purposes but can not be used in production without a licence. In addition is ships with extra installation companents (hadoop, mahoout, solr) that you probably want need.
