My chicken and egg.
I was hoping to
1. create a baseline image that I can clone
2. get a centos image on a VM guest, have my own management servers
(including pxe boot) that I own and control.
Once I have one or two, I can expand my private cloud as large as I
want...and building new guest servers will take minutes.
