<br>
I'm taking a look at what it will take to release a Vagrant image that<br>
works and preserves the Snappy experience. The community versions that I<br>
have taken a quick look will actually break upon updating, so its going<br>
to a take a bit more holistic fix. The problem here is that Vagrant<br>
makes assumptions that Snappy breaks (like DKMS modules).<br>
<br>
Once we have something more official, I'll reach out to you two for<br>
testing.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Ben<br>
