Tested SL6 on both physical and KVM virtualization.
CNAF exploits kickstart files for automating installation, but due to bugs in SL6 a very minimal OS version has been installed.
Instances will be deployed on demand, to start running PT tests, then the minimal configuration can be enhanced to include needed rpms.
