[Gloucs] Red Hat alternative

[John Patrick]

Cheers for the feed back, I'll try out CentOS.

Regarding Debian/Ubuntu, I prefer a debian businesscard installation making
a cleaner and simpler vm image. I've setup a debian vm that runs apt-proxy
and use that when creating new vm's, improving installation speed and also
allowing offline creation.
