Bug Description

The basic install guide for Ubuntu/Debian doesn't clearly delineate which parts are Debian-specific and which are Ubuntu-specific for example in:

http://docs.openstack.org/grizzly/basic-install/apt/content/basic-install_compute.html
http://docs.openstack.org/grizzly/basic-install/apt/content/basic-install_network.html
http://docs.openstack.org/grizzly/basic-install/apt/content/basic-install_compute.html

In particular, it can be easy for an Ubuntu admin to accidentally add the Debian repositories in step 2, since it's not clear that those sections are only for Debian.

(This seems to be fixed in trunk, in the sense that the Debian-specific stuff doesn't appear anymore).

For trunk, the Debian specific stuff was added recently - and already some changes were done.

Could you comment on the way this is done at: http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/basic-install/apt/content/basic-install_common.html#basic-install_common_repo, please?

    Improve Debian support in Basic Install Guide

    The Guide is built for both Debian and Ubuntu and there are a few
    places that are only relevant for either of these. These sections
    have been updated to clarify for which OS they are.

    Some places used "deb" instead of "debian" or missed to add os="debian",
    these were fixed as well.

    Note: The basic install guide is build with os="ubuntu;debian", so some
    of these changes do not change the generated code.
