Great 1 hour video introduction: http://nosqltapes.com/video/understanding-mapreduce-with-mike-miller

Here's a 33 minute video on what kinds of simple things you can do with MapReduce:

Install VirtualBox on your laptop, get an Ubuntu Virtual Machine going and follow this excellent tutorial to install your first Hadoop node:
http://www.michael-noll.com/tutorials/running-hadoop-on-ubuntu-linux-single-node-cluster/

Then use this to scale your cluster to multiple nodes:

Run a MapReduce job in Python on your cluster:
