I think we should have just pointed to the Vagrant file, nothing more.

Really, if someone knows what a Vagrant file is, they surely know how to
use it, no? Or are you going to further expand that section with help on
how to use Vagrant? And Puppet, Chef and the clique?

We should stop at some point, and really expect that the user knows at
least some basic requirements. And I believe basic knowledge of Linux,
the command line, and a little bit of gray matter are required.

(and maybe I should stop ranting. ;-] )
