If we can do oVirt 3.2 on EL6 (CentOS, in this case), that sounds like the best combination. I like the idea of using our own software, and I like the idea of running as much as we can on a stable computing platform. We are picking from the Red Hat family of Linuxes because it's what the people here know and trust. I do hope one day to see a mix of Linuxes in the oVirt infrastructure. - Karsten --=20 Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Sr. Analyst - Community Growth http://TheOpenSourceWay.org .^\ http://community.redhat.com @quaid (identi.ca/twitter/IRC) \v' gpg: AD0E0C41 ------enig2LCTEWHHITTKOQOTWNCGI Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.13 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iD8DBQFRHA042ZIOBq0ODEERAneoAJwPu+Mzeh719OypJ/OzWTNQUdryZwCgl44p VlAhWoRiyxBurYTYM1SLoGk= =Bh4O -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------enig2LCTEWHHITTKOQOTWNCGI--
