About Andrew Tanenbaum and Computing History

 I hope to add more talks about computing history and what not.

Andrew Tanenbaum created a popular computer science book.  I still may have a copy.  It was about operating system design.  Start from scratch.  And he create the operating system Minix.  I believe no direct code relation to Linux or Unix.

Except, Linus of Linux did learn a lot from Minix.

Testing multi machine hadoop cluster

 So I was testing setup of a hadoop cluster and running map reduce. There are preliminary notes in first post. One key, I ran all commands under openssh as that user Setup the user Main machine: sudo usermod --shell /bin/bash mainhdfs Start openssh   openssh   su - mainhdfs   sudo apt-get install openssh-server   sudo systemctl enable ssh   sudo systemctl enable ssh --now   sudo systemctl start ssh   su - mainhdfs   sudo mkdir /usr/local/hadoop   sudo mv hadoop-3.3.6 /usr/local/hadoop/   sudo chown own -R mainhdfs:hadoop /usr/local/hadoop   sudo chown -R mainhdfs:hadoop /usr/local/hadoop Setup more on ssh: ssh-keygen -t rsa -P '' -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys chmod 700 ~/.ssh Write the following .bashrc and .bash_profile for that user export HADOOP_HOME=/usr/local/hadoop/hadoop-3.3.6 export PATH=$PATH:$HADOOP_HOME/bin:$HADOOP_HOME/sbin export HADOOP_CONF_...
