Rodrigo Caballero 34a0b6050f Restructure all technical content.
This restructure organizes the content into three sections, one per
technology. The content was left as untouched as possible, however
several directives needed to be standardized in order to implement the
new structure. All filenames follow use dashes-as-spaces and are written
using lower-case. Standard labels for files were implemented using the
filename as the label, thus, content can be cross-referenced without
having to open the file to see the label. Figures were moved to
decentralized folders to enable modularity. The scope of the restructure
as well as the dependencies between the changes required me to do it in
a single commit. Lastly, some cleanup had to be done for the
standardized structure to function properly.

Documentation Build Instructions
################################
The `website documentation`_ for Clear Linux\* OS for Intel Architecture
should be written in :abbr:`ReStructuredText (ReST)` AKA ``.rst``, which
makes it easy to build parsable, command-line readable, indexed, and
search-friendly documentation and APIs with `Sphinx`_.
.. _requirements:
Requirements
============
To build documentation with Sphinx, ensure your system has these
prerequisites:
* `GNU make`_
* `Python`_
* `PIP`_
* `Sphinx`_
The instructions for installing these varies according to OS. On a basic out-
of-the-box Ubuntu-like OS (which usually has Python installed by default),
check your python version you might need something like:
.. code-block:: console
$ sudo apt-get install python-pip
$ sudo pip install -U sphinx sphinx-autobuild
.. code-block:: console
$ python -c 'print __import__("sphinx").__version__'
1.3.1
Cloning the documentation repository
====================================
We have confirmed Sphinx installed. The next step is to clone Gitlab
repository to our local machine.
.. code-block:: console
$ git clone git@clrgitlab.intel.com:clr-documentation/project-docs.git
Run make
========
Finally are we ready to run :command:`make`. Be sure to :command:`cd` to the
:file:`source/` directory where your ``.rst`` files are, before
running :command:`make html`, or the doc format of your choice.
.. code-block:: console
$ make html
>
sphinx-build -b html -d _build/doctrees . _build/html
Running Sphinx v1.3.1

Build finished. The HTML pages are in _build/html.
Open one of the .html pages in a web browser to view the rendered
documentation.

needed to integrate beautifully on the clearlinux.org website, please see
