Hi Asheesh & Antonio First thanks for the interest on these boxes. After some second thought, I agreee on that. I will re enable the vboxfs in the Vagrant Box and move that to a "contrib" namespace. I still find it would be interesting to have official vagrant base boxes, generated from the Debian infrastructure, but LXC should be used for that. @asheesh: My idea would be to implement this in the next two weeks, as I am going on Holidays now. BTW sandstorm is an interesting project ! If people want to have a main-only Virtualbox image, I am looking for help to maintain these ! Emmanuel
