[StarCluster] No panic, but Disco is now available with starcluster

[Don MacMillen]

Hi Justin,

Great ideas, Justin.  It is all very doable.  One of Chris' points
was that Disco is a lot easier to install than Hadoop.  He did not
mention any gotcha's on the install but I will ask.  Let me know
if there is anything I can help you with.

Regards,

Don
