oVirt on CentOS:

Gluster storage is very easily managed from a command line utility.
The majority of sysadmins I speak with wouldn't use a pretty gui
anyway so I suspect the dev team just lost as much interest as the
community did.<br>
<br>
From my own perspective, as a volunteer in the irc channel that
offers support over my nearly every waking hour, I've never seen the
quality of support questions drop more than when people started
discovering the gmc. Keeping good people around when the questions
are annoying is problematic at best.<br>
<br>
There has been some interest, however, in having a pretty gui. NuxRo
(<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.nux.ro">www.nux.ro</a>) from the IRC channel has contacted Jamie Cameron from
the Webmin project about adding support there. You might try
following up with them.<br>
