Open Stack

hi Stephen,

you can run OpenStack on a single machine and still get to test it. I 
would suggest you to give a look at the official OpenStack 
documentation and especially the starter guide (it's aimed at setting 
up a basic installation on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS)

http://docs.openstack.org/essex/openstack-compute/starter/content/

Hope this helps,
Stef
