And people may hesitate to raise a query in this forum. We are very tolerant and patient with the newbie posters on this list these days. In addition to providing answers and solutions to the posters, we also try to educate them on the mailing list etiquette so that they will do prior research and work before asking questions on this list instead of treating this list as a free technical support forum, which it is not. Most of the long-time subscribers on this list are people who are interested in GNU/Linux, Free(dom) software and the associated ecosystem and want to share their knowledge and at the same time learn from each other. There is a very good reason why "How to ask questions the smart way" (http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html) by ESR is often recommended on mailing lists like this to newbie members. > The another perspective is, > If you google it, you can get 100s of pages(out of it 80+ pages are not > relevant info).

"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime" goes a very old and popular saying which is very relevant here. I know that searching on your favourite search engine (say Google) can be a daunting task with 100s of pages of results. Knowing that, though people rarely navigate beyond the first few pages, I had pointed out the official documentation docs.openstack.org (which happen to be within the first few results on the first page) to the OP to help him narrow his search scope. Shrini had suggested devstack.org which is primarily for setting up OpenStack development environments. OP had not stated what is his purpose of setting up OpenStack - whether for hacking on the OpenStack code, in which case devstack.org would be a good place to start or to setup an OpenStack production environment, for which the docs.openstack.org links would be the best place to start. > This mail is not intent to hurt you. Just sharing my thoughts. No offense taken. I stand by what I did to help the OP and at the same time educate him. So no problem :-) > On Mon, Mar 3, 2014 at 12:50 PM, L.

Whoo! I ran out of breath reading the previous sentence that I have typed :-) Thanks & Regards, Guruprasad _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc ILUGC Mailing List Guidelines: http://ilugc.in/mailinglist-guidelines
