[kwlug-disc] Multiple NICs on Ubuntu Server 14.04

[CrankyOldBugger]

Ok, more progress..

I gave up on the tools I was using yesterday.  "Europa" is there and
running but completely dead-stick.  So I did a little more digging and
found "UVTOOL", which seems to be much easier.  I was able to quickly
download an image from the cloud and then built a VM with it.  I could
connect to the VM with no issues, until I changed the VM's IP and that
seemed to mess things up.  But I now have a "proof of concept" and I will
try to show a little more planning before building the next VM.  I'm going
to try to erase all of the files connected to the latest VM and start with
a clean slate.

I need to find a way to wipe Europa from the host cleanly (the files are
gone but it still shows up under uvt-kvm list).  Despite the failures this
is still fun!

Thanks to the gang for the great help so far!  I will update you as things
progress.
