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.

Cheers,
Dave.
