Hi, I think if you understand the components you can get things working of any of the distributions. The problem at least for me initially was understanding how all of the different components inter-relate. From monitoring the list I think a lot of people are using Ubuntu so that may be a good choice. But before you decide what you want I would suggest that you try using a couple of the quick installation options that exist and see which of these appeal to you. A couple of examples are DevStack http://devstack.org/ or RDO http://openstack.redhat.com/Quickstart (there are others). Good Luck :) On Mon, Sep 30, 2013 at 4:37 PM, Jeffrey Walton <noloader at gmail.com> wrote: > I want to install OpenStack in a test lab.
