I'm personally comfortable with centOS, I believe there is a sizeable Ubuntu user base. Your cloudstack management server can run within a vm. Just make sure the hypervisor it resides on wont be under the control of cloudstack.
Help is what we're here for, feel free to post more questions if you get stuck or need advice.
