James Polley 5f2eb6dade Add a target for, and link to, minimal config docs 
Reading through the docs for the first time, the reader encounters an
instruction to provide a minimal configuration, with a link that they'd
expect to tell them how to do this.

At present the link actually takes them to the top of
configuration.html, where they read some history about how devstack's
configuration has changed over time.

This is interesting and important and should be in the docs - but in my
opinion a link about setting up a minimal configuration would be more
useful if it takes me to a place that tells them about a minimal
configuration.

To get this, I've had to an an explicit link target into
configuration.rst. I'm not hugely keen on this approach, as I don't
think it scales well. I'd be open to suggestions about other
approaches. The only idea I've had so far though is to simply move the
minimal configuration section right to the top of the page, so that a
link to the doc is a link to the minimal config - the historical
information could be moved to its own topic somewhere further down the doc.

Quick Start
-----------
#. Select a Linux Distribution
Only Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty), Fedora 20 and CentOS/RHEL 7 are
documented here. OpenStack also runs and is packaged on other flavors
of Linux such as OpenSUSE and Debian.
#. Install Selected OS
In order to correctly install all the dependencies, we assume a
specific minimal version of the supported distributions to make it as
easy as possible. We recommend using a minimal install of Ubuntu or
Fedora server in a VM if this is your first time.
#. Download DevStack
::
git clone https://git.openstack.org/openstack-dev/devstack
The ``devstack`` repo contains a script that installs OpenStack and
templates for configuration files
#. Configure
We recommend at least a :ref:`minimal-configuration` be set up.
#. Start the install
::
cd devstack; ./stack.sh
It takes a few minutes, we recommend `reading the
script <stack.sh.html>`__ while it is building.

All-In-One Single VM
--------------------
Run :doc:`OpenStack in a VM <guides/single-vm>`. The VMs launched in your cloud will be slow as
they are running in QEMU (emulation), but it is useful if you don't have
spare hardware laying around. :doc:`[Read] <guides/single-vm>`
All-In-One Single Machine
-------------------------
Run :doc:`OpenStack on dedicated hardware <guides/single-machine>` This can include a
server-class machine or a laptop at home.
:doc:`[Read] <guides/single-machine>`
Multi-Node Lab
--------------
Setup a :doc:`multi-node cluster <guides/multinode-lab>` with dedicated VLANs for VMs & Management.
:doc:`[Read] <guides/multinode-lab>`
DevStack with Neutron Networking
--------------------------------
Building a DevStack cluster with :doc:`Neutron Networking <guides/neutron>`.
This guide is meant for building lab environments with a dedicated
control node and multiple compute nodes.
DevStack with KVM-based Nested Virtualization
---------------------------------------------
Procedure to setup :doc:`DevStack with KVM-based Nested Virtualization
<guides/devstack-with-nested-kvm>`. With this setup, Nova instances
will be more performant than with plain QEMU emulation.
