If we're going for simplicity, we may want to go with the

install. This way, you come out of these directions ready to create
and run VMs. For a complete setup, it may be that the steps required
are too many to include on this page. We could link to the quick start
guide here: http://wiki.ovirt.org/wiki/Quick_Start_Guide.
That's the intent of the original download mockup:

From my understanding, it'll take effort from multiple people to get
the all-in-one install ISO working how we want it to.
This is different from ISO -- I'm talking about the all-in-one
engine-setup plugin that's currently available. Right now, you can
install the package "ovirt-engine-setup-plugin-allinone" which pulls in
all the same stuff as ovirt-engine, but adds the option, in the
engine-setup script, to make your engine also be a virtualization host.
With the regular setup, you come out of the script with the engine, a
default data center, and an (optional) iso domain running on the engine
machine. You then have to go create a data domain and add a host before
you can use ovirt.
The AIO plugin adds a local data domain, and configures the engine to
host VMs, so when you first visit the web console, you're ready to roll.
For the time being, "other distros" just means having the management UI
running on various platforms, and that everyone using oVirt is using
Fedora/RHEL/RHEL-derivative doing the heavy lifting on the servers, right?
What's the general plan & timeframe for getting VDSM et al. working
cross-distro, so that all of oVirt can run everywhere?
I don't know the plan -- it'd be good to have a "things needed to enable
multi-distro" page on the wiki. I'll try to start one.
