You should also ensure the machine has enough disk space for the
MongoDB database, which IIRC by default is configured to pre-allocate
48MB (for 32-bit architectures), 183MB (for 64-bit OS X), or 512MB
(for Windows) as minimum oplog size, and up to 1GB (on Linux) as
maximum oplog size. Additionally, if you store a lot of cached images
(for LXC containers) or other binaries (juju tarballs, "fat" charms,
etc.) the MongoDB database will grow.

Another option is to deploy services isolated in LXC containers, with
- --to lxc:<#> where <#> is a juju machine ID (0 for the bootstrap node).

Alternatively, you could bootstrap a manual environment on the Ubuntu
desktop machine, but then you'll have to add manually each additional
machine to the environment, with add-machine ssh:<user>@<hostname|IP
address> - e.g. $ juju add-machine myuser at 192.168.1.123
