Hello Jaime!

Thank you very much for the input. I think I'll follow the first option, 
being a programmer too and having worked with Gentoo for so many years I 
am confortable with it. Great that you have the doc ready.

The hard part of the OpenNebula setup really isn't the install, it is 
the creation of the base images. Considering how powerful and how 
flexible OpenNebula is, it means that you guys are geniuses! For real. 
You were able to create something that at the same time that you have 
plugins everywhere, very very customizable plugins everywhere, you still 
can just use it out of the box. Awesome!

Thank you again and have a great one there!

Best,
Daniel
