Kenneth, I'm following your tutorial, and I'm at the vagrant thing. I'm fairly clear on what it is and what it does. I'm running 14 rather than 12 cause I had the image on hand on a virtualbox. I just used apt-get to install vagrant, rather than the Ruby gem (which it specifically poopooed when I tried it). I looked at the website, though, and it doesn't mention installing from distro, just offers a download. If I use the distro's version, should that work alright, or is Vagrant something you want to be at the bleeding edge for?
