+### Choosing the docker image to use
+You can choose an specific image to use on the docker-* commands.
+On order, it looks up for an image as an argument, on the `KICKSTART_DOCKER_IMAGE` env variable or defaults to moul/sshd.
+You can use any image that is on the index, you probably want it to have an sshd running by default.
+
+Docker images tested:
+
+* [moul/sshd](https://index.docker.io/u/moul/sshd/)
+* [bltavares/centos-ssh](https://index.docker.io/u/bltavares/centos-ssh/)
