Right now, oVirt only works with Fedora and CentOS/RHEL. We shouldn't give people the wrong idea about multi-distro possibilities. Someone could get the engine app running on jboss on a different platform, but vdsm, an essential component for doing anything w/ ovirt, is very much tied to fedora/el right now.
While I accept that this is the current situation, I think we definitely want to give people the impression on the website that this is not a Red Hat only virtualisation manager - yes, there's work to be done to integrate it on other distros, but we are more than happy to integrate that work, and we plan on doing it ourselves for Ubuntu in the near future. The message "we welcome people who want to run other distros as oVirt nodes" is important.
Definitely -- I hope to see us make multi-distro a reality asap, and it's important to make that goal clear -- and make clear that currently, a goal is what it is.
Cheers, Dave.
