Ok, thanks. from where can I start?
On Fedora 17+ you can install the guest agent by 'yum install ovirt-guest-agent-common'
On other OS you can start by checking out the git repository on the OS you'd like to build it on.
`git clone http://gerrit.ovirt.org/p/ovirt-guest-agent.git`
On Windows you should follow these instructions: http://gerrit.ovirt.org/gitweb?p=ovirt-guest-agent.git;a=blob;f=ovirt-guest-...
On Linux you go into the repository $ ./autogen.sh $ ./configure --prefix=/usr --without-sso And then as root # make install
However not all files might yet be put into the right places on all systems, and for Debian/Ubuntu systems we don't have any daemon or upstart scripts, so far we only support systemd in the repository so that would have to be done manually.
Are there plans to provide packages for Windows or various Linux distributions in oVirt repositories as long as they aren't available in official distro repos? Another little bit off-topic question: what are the criteria for an operating system to be listed as an operating system when creating new servers/desktops? At the moment the same os'es are listed as in RHEV. In my opinion either all distributions which are fully tested (working IDE/VirtIO disks, e1000/rtl/VirtIO nics, maybe guest agent available...) should be listed here - in a similar way as you can find it in virt-manager... For me it's clear that I can run e.g. Debian vms on oVirt and I have to choose Other Linux for debian. But having e.g. Debian, Ubuntu, openSUSE in the list of operating systems and their icons in user and self provisioning portal would look much nicer. Last, it would be great to have a matrix of operating systems in oVirt wiki to provide an overview which operating systems are working and where you can find guest agent packages - as available for e.g. VMware and KVM. I think there are a lot of users tried out different operating systems and are willing to update the support matrix... I think this would help a lot to find the right settings for operating systems. e.g. for Fedora 18 I can/should choose VirtIO disks and nics, but for Solaris 10/11 only IDE disks are working and network isn't working (none of the 3 types). What do you think?

for which OS? Vinzenz - we should have a wiki on this if we don't already have one.
We do have a description in the repository for Fedora and Windows targets, however we don't have yet a description for other Linux distributions than Fedora since we haven't supported it yet. There has been some work done for supporting other distribution targets however without single sign on support.
I will put the wiki pages on my todo list.
