I've started minishift (fork of minikube) at
https://github.com/jimmidyson/minishift if anyone wants to try it out.
Will publish a first release of it later today or tomorrow hopefully.
All feedback welcome - building is pretty simple, as long as you have
the Go toolchain setup.

Of course we can but the question is what benefit it brings? As this
is only for single dev, easy getting started & play what Docker
version is being used should be inconsequential to the ux. The only
problem I can see with using RHT's Docker is the size of the ISO that
minishift will need to download to start the VM. Right now this is
~36MB & this allows for really speedy startup (effectively no waiting
for download). Switching to RHT's Docker & potentially CentOS/RHEL I
would expect this to grow, which isn't terrible but would affect the
ux somewhat.

> and how about openshift itself ?

Minishift runs latest version of OpenShift (latest version at time of
build embedded in the minishift binary for speedy start up time) & I
am going to make the version configurable via flags which will
download the specified release from github on startup, with caching
for subsequent runs, etc.

Thanks,
Jimmi
