Dear Jose, It will help people answer your question if you specify your goals :
-If you do it to learn how to USE a running Hadoop then go for one of the prebuilt distributions (Amazon or MapR) -If you do it to learn more about the setting up and administrating Hadoop then you are better off setting everything up from scratch on EC2. -Do you need to run on many nodes or just a 1 node to test some Mapreduce scripts on a small data set?
