What do I need to get started?
Hi, looking at the website it's not clear what is needed to get started with OpenStack. Here are some questions I have:
Do I need a dedicated server or can I install this in a virtual machine?
Does the computer need hardware virtualization support? For example, if I have Xen installed as paravirtualization can I use that?
What are the system requirements are there for the server? For example, how much RAM is needed to have success? If I use Ubuntu Server I can get by with as little as 256MB. Is that enough for OpenStack or do I need more?
Once the server is set up and running what are the requirements for launching and accessing it (starting instances for example)? Do I need to be running Linux or can I run another OS?
What are the requirements for my guest OS?
These were the first things I looked for when coming to the site. Having answers to them would make it easier for me to experiment with OpenStack.
