IMHO the docker image is the second-best solution, the best being just installing Linux natively on your computer. Of course thats assuming that your goal is scientific computation. On the other hard, if you just want to get to a notebook with the least number of keystrokes the VM is probably the best.
What if the goal is to allow scientific computation to the whole department with best possible security, while still allowing administrator to install optional packages, also packages for GAP inside Sage?
I guess it is Docker package running as isolated process, Shibboleth instead of LDAP and maybe computation run as separated Docker instances. I guess it is possible in thery, but how about practise?
