2. Cloudera:
Cloudera Quickstart VM is my personal favourite. You will get a Complete Linux box with Most of the Big Data softwares already installed. All you need to do is practice. This is a Pseudo Node Cluster or 1-Node cluster. If you prefer a Look-and-Feel of a Linux environment for Big Data work , this is for you. You can boot up the Big Data box in any virtual platform viz - VirtualBox, VMware Player, Docker etc. Link -
