Snappy Personal Desktop

It is still a WIP and it is also quite early, but if you want to try out Snappy Personal Desktop, here is how to do it:

$ sudo ubuntu-device-flash personal rolling --channel edge -o personal_x86.img --developer-mode
$ kvm -m 2048 -vga qxl personal_x86.img

the password for logging in is "ubuntu".

Oh, for this to work you need  Ubuntu 15.10 or at least ubuntu-device-flash from Wily.

    2. You can install Terminal app from the App store, just like on Ubuntu Phone.
