You should not care what is "under the covers". You just use it as a back-end appliance that talks to oVirt. So it should not matter what version of OS it runs, right? If you start doing things that are particular to the OS, two major disadvantages come to mind: 1. You will start "bloating" the system by adding new dependencies. This dilutes the value of a minimal node that minimizes management requirements 2. You will diverge from what's been tested by the oVirt QA team. This increases the risk of your deployment. Since Node is supposed to be an appliance, I would prefer that the oVirt team focus their energies on making it as small and robust as possible, rather than putting their energy into multiple OS versions of Node. -Bob On 12/09/2013 06:31 AM, Simon Barrett wrote:
