Hadi,

Thanks for looking into oVirt.  At this time our developers are focused on 
Fedora 10 as the OS to support the oVirt Server.

Centos 5 (being based on RHEL5) will have a much older package set and 
it's likely that things will not work correctly on that OS without some 
backporting and patching of other core packages (like kvm, ruby, etc...)

You're welcome to give it a try and submit patches so that oVirt can 
support that OS as a base (in fact we'd love to get some community support 
for additional OSes!)

But at the current time we don't have enough development help to port 
oVirt to Centos.  At some point we will probably port things over to RHEL 
and from there moving to Centos should be trivial, but I don't know what 
the timeline for that is.

Thanks,

Perry
