+# 9p Ubuntu Server VM
+There are still some rough edges here, but this is a GNU makefile that allows
+you to run a headless Ubuntu VM on a 9p filesystem.
+
+When I get my website back up, I'll link the blog post this inspired that
+explains what and why this is.
+
+## Requirements
+- A QEMU build with the 9p stuff (many distros include the stuff in their QEMU
+  packages)
+- GNU Make
+- OVMF EFI firmware (this requirement may go away later on)
+
+## Using
+Run the installer:
+```
+SSH_PORT=2221 UBUNTU_ISO=path/to/ubuntu_whatever.iso make run1-installer
+```
+
+More info on the installer coming soon...
+
+Enjoy your VM:
+```
+make run1
+```
+
+## TODO
+- pull down the Ubuntu ISO automagically so somewhere pointed to
+by `UBUNTU_ISO` automagically
