This is a very nice write up. If anyone is interested, I've put several screencasts together about Vagrant [1], creating a Vagrant box with Veewee [2], and Learning Puppet with Vagrant.

Isn't Veewee being somewhat superseeded by mitchellh's http://packer.io? Admittedly, packer.io has only recently been released.

This was my impression as well, There's a veewee-to-packer converter that I've had some success with:

Thanks! I just got started with Vagrant and figured I should share my experience!

I think these tools are great and the more articles and how-to videos the better. It's nice to see the momentum building around IT automation.
