Ok, I will look into it. I gave it a quick try right now, and it refused to work (it asked me to install Virtualbox on my guest Linux machine, which itself is on Virtualbox, and then it complained that the guest machine's BIOS does not allow virtualization). Generally, I would like to avoid vagrant because it adds another level to the learning curve for me.
