This sounds great for me - I've had lots of problems setting up Lernanta and have advocated for a virtual machine solution.

Hey Chris,<br>
<br>
that is great but I'm a bit weary about the word 'replaced'. I do NOT<br>
want to install Lernanta in a virtual machine; my laptop can barely<br>
carry itself, let alone starting up virtual boxes. I understand that<br>
it's great for new users though, but not for all. Also, some people<br>
might want to develop in their own platform (I'm guessing that the<br>
vagrant box will be Ubuntu?). So I hope that 'replacement' is only<br>
figurative speech :)<br>
<br>
cheers,<br>
José<br>
