If a user need to customize the hypervisor he can use a regular OS of his choice configured and tailored to his needs (Fedora ..., CentOS ...Debian, Gentoo ...) This is a valid use case and effort for the community. While having a black box hypervisor, should be the exact fit to just run VMs in oVirt environment. Why to handle specific OS configuration in a much more complex and less intuitive environment to manage ? Guys I really think this entirely misses the black-box approach. I don't mind moving to our own tiny distro as long as it's a single image to release and maintain The effort of maintaining multiple ovirt-nodes based on distro and distro-version and ovirt-version creates an unmanageable test matrix that all the community might loose from > > Alon > _______________________________________________ node-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/node-devel
