## Introduction
Quickemu is a very simple script to "manage" Qemu virtual machines. Each virtual
machine configuration is broadly the same requiring minimal setup. The main
objective of the project is to enable quick testing of desktop Linux
distributions where the virtual machines can be stored anywhere, such as external
USB storage.

Quickemu is opinionated and will attempt to *"do the right thing"* rather than
expose rich configuration options. See the video where I explain some of my
motivations for creating this script.
