config.vm.box = "base"

config.vm.box = "ubuntu_natty_64"

$ vagrant up

$ vagrant ssh

$ vagrant suspend

$ vagrant destroy

(or Chef)

config.vm.provision :puppet do |puppet| puppet.manifest_file = "foobang.pp"end

exec { "apt-get-update": command => "/usr/bin/apt-get update",}

package { ["nginx", "python", "cowsay"]: ensure => installed, require => Exec["apt-get-update"],}

$ vagrant reload
