For what reason

Development

"Programmers are like vampires. They're frequently up all night, paler than death itself, and generally afraid of being exposed to daylight. Oh yes, and they tend think of themselves (or at least their code) as immortal." - www.codinghorror.com

System Administrators are like werewolves. They may look outwardly ordinary, but are incredibly strong, mostly invulnerable to stuf that would kill regular people -- and prone to strange transformations during a moon "outage". - www.codinghorror.com

So how to do that

Portable work environments

VirtualBox, Vmware, etc

Support provisioning tools eg. Chef, Puppet

“vagrant up” and you're ready to fly

Still not convinced?

$ vagrant box add base http://files.vagrantup.com/lucid32.box

$ vagrant init

$ vagrant up

So how to do that

“vagrant ssh” and install your stuf manually

package the greatest vagrant box

..and share within your team!

.. or use automated provisioning

Yay! It's ready, so what are you waiting for dude?

Don’t pick a tool because <someone> uses it.

Evaluate options based on requirements
