Ragini:

i'd like to propose removing ArchLinux from the current defined baseline.

Rationale

* ArchLinux is the distro of choice and we have been using it for the last 7-8 
years and we will continue to use it. Our demo and sessions will have ArchLinux 
based implementations and deployments.

* Given our AMD64 (and not Intel) and Qemu+KVM focus, enforcing any single 
distro will get in our way. Folks can use any GNU/Linux distro as long as they 
can run Qemu.

* We get to learn about the quirks and pecularities (eg. file locations, 
default values), packaging or version restrictions and bugs encountered in 
GNU/Linux distributions.

* We will also keep an eye on Qemu interplay with NetBSD [1] (eg. NVMM+virtio) 
and Qemu with FreeBSD [2].
  1. https://www.netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/chap-virt.html
  2. https://wiki.freebsd.org/qemu

* This will keep the path open for creative contribution in the AMD64+Qemu 
space.

What do you think ?


warm regards
Saifi.
