[ovirt-users] Live Migration / Snapshots- CentOS 6.5

[Brad Bendy]

If I use Fedora will "everything" work? I had numerous issues, IIRC I
could not even get the ovirtmgmt switch to install and a few other
things. What version of Fedora do you recommend then? Ill do another
install and give that a whirl again.

Thanks!
