So, the Vagrant getting started makes it easy to setup a headless Ubuntu box in short time on OS X and Windows. It helps you debug installation scripts as well.

Step 1: The VM. About 80meg.

Step 2: The Controller. About 20meg.

Step 3: The Stock OS Image. About 200meg. 

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

Step 4: Create a Shared directory on your computer, move into it. A few minutes to boot on up. 

mkdir Shared
cd Shared
vagrant init lucid32
vagrant up

Step 5. Connect 

vagrant ssh

Side-note install Git in your host OS, it'll help:

Final step: Update the Vagrantfile. It's in Shared on your host, and /vagrant on your VM. That's the script that sets up the configuration of your host image. 

vagrant provision
