[ale] Interesting job on the ale-jobs list

[Wolf Halton]

The Linux jobs I have been seeing are hot for KVM and OpenStack
virtualization.  KVM is not all that hard to get, but OpenStack seems to
require a huge test network of beefy machines.  Perhaps this is a false
impression, but I have not been able to find a way to run an instance on a
7-year-old laptop.
