OK, So to test the images, just burn a dvd/usbstick and run it like a 
liveDVD? I did not see instructions or brief guidance; I'm noob with 
openstack but curious to see how she performs......


Long term, will we get an openstack-meta (testing) out of this in 
portage, or should I just dedicated an old dual core amd64 box for image 
testing?

I'm  building up (from 100%  sources) a mesos cluster offering
with cephfs, Apache-spark, Apache-storm and tachyon. It'd be great to
run some tests of codes on openstack (running on local hardware) and 
then test the same hardware running Apache-mesos. So any suggestions you 
have on that (so the comparisons are as similar as possible, including 
recommended test codes) would be of keen interest to me.
