Kristian (or others): Any preferences on Linux distro for the box? Should I go with OpenSuse, which is what is on the terriers, or does it matter?
Heh, I'd prefer anything _but_ Suse, I think we've had only grief from that.
Agree. :)
But in the end I don't really have any strong opinion. We need to run KVM and not much else on the box - so whatever makes it easy to get a stable KVM/kernel, and/or upgrade the KVM/kernel as needed, seems it would do the job...
Maybe just pick what you are most comfortable with maintaining and using KVM on, or what is used mostly on other boxes - some recent Ubuntu?
OK. I think I'll go with Ubuntu then. That's what we mostly use on other servers and I use it on my local box with KVM and it works well. For support-ability, I'll go with 13.10 for the initial install and then upgrade it to the current 14.04-beta (followed by 14.04-final in a couple weeks). I think the current 14.04-beta is very close to what the final will be, so we might as well move to it now. Thanks. -- Daniel Bartholomew MariaDB
