  7. [[http://www.ubuntu.com/][Ubuntu]] boxes for use with [[http://vagrantup.com][Vagrant]].  The boxes are built with the
    8. 

  8. [[http://wiki.opscode.com/display/chef/Package%2BInstallation%2Bon%2BDebian%2Band%2BUbuntu][Official OpsCode Chef 0.10.4 Ubuntu Packages]] baked in.  This means you

    12.

    13. 

  13. Server & 2 Chef Client Nodes.  The nodes are setup to automatically
