Open Stack

I hope most people installing OpenStack have at least a basic amount of
Linux systems administration experience. However, after some previous
banter on this topic, we still tend to provide the actual commands for
steps requiring basic experience (e.g., symlinks). On the other hand,
networking steps get tricky because most people installing OpenStack for
the first time lack network administration experience, especially on Linux
with bridges, iptables, namespaces, etc.
