[ale] which distribution for KVM and OpenECP

[David Hillman]

Oh no, I was under the impression OpenECP was a total fork of Enomaly ECP.
 Removing someone's copyright statements and then releasing code under a
different name is just bad form.  The codebase is a mess anyway.  I
initially tried to use Enomaly ECP about a month ago, but they had already
removed the free version from Sourceforge.  They have been having talks with
Amazon, so who knows what will happen there.

I tried to use the free VMware ESXi with the hope of developing a Web-based
control panel, but that isn't allowed by VMware unless an expensive license
is purchased.  I also looked into Eucalyptus, but I don't want to have to
deal with a cloud controller and different nodes; I wanted something
simpler.  Still, using something like UEC seems to be the easiest and most
flexible route.  Thanks for the tip.
