Paramiko is great for starting out, but the OpenSSH type offers many advanced options. You will want to run Ansible
from a machine new enough to support ControlPersist, if you are using this connection type. You can still manage
older clients. If you are using RHEL 6 or CentOS 6, the version of OpenSSH is still a bit old, so consider managing
from a Fedora client even though you are managing older nodes, or just use paramiko.

consider managing from a Fedora or openSUSE client even though you are managing older nodes, or just use paramiko.

We keep paramiko as the default as if you are first installing Ansible on an EL box, it offers a better experience
for new users.

for your distribution:

.. code-block:: bash

# replace $dist with the correct distribution found here: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/systemsmanagement/

You can also use the ``make rpm`` command to build an RPM you can distribute and install.
Make sure you have ``rpm-build``, ``make``, and ``python2-devel`` installed.
