O.S.Tezer 10d57b648f docs: Installation Instruction Title & Description Fixes
Docker-DCO-1.1-Signed-off-by: O.S. Tezer <ostezer@gmail.com> (github: ostezer)

1. All titles are listed by simple platform names apart from Windows' "Installing Docker On Windows". Changed this to "Windows" to match the rest.

2. Some articles' description (and title) information does not match the majority. Modified them to match the rest (i.e. Please note this project is currently under heavy development. It should not be used in production.)

3. Removed "Linux" from Gentoo & Ubuntu descriptions.

Rackspace Cloud
===============
.. include:: install_unofficial.inc
Installing Docker on Ubuntu provided by Rackspace is pretty
straightforward, and you should mostly be able to follow the
:ref:`ubuntu_linux` installation guide.
**However, there is one caveat:**
If you are using any Linux not already shipping with the 3.8 kernel
you will need to install it. And this is a little more difficult on
Rackspace.
Rackspace boots their servers using grub's ``menu.lst`` and does not
like non 'virtual' packages (e.g. Xen compatible) kernels there,
although they do work. This results in ``update-grub`` not having the
expected result, and you will need to set the kernel manually.
**Do not attempt this on a production machine!**
.. code-block:: bash
# update apt
apt-get update
# install the new kernel
apt-get install linux-generic-lts-raring
Great, now you have the kernel installed in ``/boot/``, next you need to make it
boot next time.
.. code-block:: bash
# find the exact names
find /boot/ -name '*3.8*'
# this should return some results
Now you need to manually edit ``/boot/grub/menu.lst``, you will find a
section at the bottom with the existing options. Copy the top one and
substitute the new kernel into that. Make sure the new kernel is on
top, and double check the kernel and initrd lines point to the right files.
Take special care to double check the kernel and initrd entries.
.. code-block:: bash
# now edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
vi /boot/grub/menu.lst
It will probably look something like this:
::
## ## End Default Options ##
title Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS, kernel 3.8.x generic
root (hd0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-3.8.0-19-generic root=/dev/xvda1 ro quiet splash console=hvc0
initrd /boot/initrd.img-3.8.0-19-generic
title Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS, kernel 3.2.0-38-virtual
root (hd0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-38-virtual root=/dev/xvda1 ro quiet splash console=hvc0
initrd /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-38-virtual
title Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS, kernel 3.2.0-38-virtual (recovery mode)
root (hd0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-38-virtual root=/dev/xvda1 ro quiet splash single
initrd /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-38-virtual
Reboot the server (either via command line or console)
.. code-block:: bash
# reboot
Verify the kernel was updated
.. code-block:: bash
uname -a
# Linux docker-12-04 3.8.0-19-generic #30~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Wed May 1 22:26:36 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
# nice! 3.8.
Now you can finish with the :ref:`ubuntu_linux` instructions.
