+The purpose of this document is to get a system installed that you can use to
+test your setup assumptions. Working from this base installtion you can
+tweak configurations and work with different flags to monitor interaction with
+your hardware, network, and other factors that will allow you to determine
+suitability for your deployment. After following this setup method, you should
+be able to experiment with different managers, drivers, and flags to get the
+best performance.
