I'm OK with it because Ubuntu is easy to use and I somewhat know it.
Ubuntu does miss patches and back ports on occassion. For example, lack of Grub2/Tboot back porting into 12.04 LTS (it broke my multiboot system when Ubuntu writes its flavor of Grub2 over Fedora); and lack of GPG on 12.04LTS (the broken dependencies and fixes were not back ported). >> I think a lot of that is due to the fact that OpenStack is developed on >> Ubuntu.
