Open Stack

I believe we are missing a key point, which is what is the purpose of 
the install guide? If it is just to help folks quickly get OpenStack  or 
are we also trying to teach them about OpenStack as they install it to 
help them become proficient and quickly as possible? If we decide on the 
purpose of the book then many of these other detail will resolve themselves.
