You guys really should change the logo to a cookie, every time I see the url I think of oreos.

I was thinking it should be a chewed on apple core, but now I cannot unsee the oreos... so I vote cookie logo too!

Cool project

This is not related to the VagrantCoreOS topic but since Vagrant box image format is a packaged ovf image it shouldn't be too hard to port the CoreOS images to Vortex (https://github.com/websecurify/node-vortex).

Ahh another Gentoo distro. Never ceases to amaze me how people troll it and yet it keeps popping out in every nook and cranny.

Must have been a good idea that no one got.

AFAIK CoreOS is based on ChromeOS which uses some parts from Gentoo. That doesn't mean Gentoo was ever a good idea for general-purpose PCs or servers.

ChikkaChiChi, that may be the single best explanation for what Vagrant is. Most people answer: "It provisions VMs" which isn't as enlightening as your answer!

Alex from CoreOS here: This only supports virtualbox at the moment, but we are actively working on adding VMware. Fill out the form on this page if you want us to spam you when we have the vmware image (or others): http://coreos.com/

Why no VMware, Xen or Qemu? We can help you if you have any issues with making thus work you know :)

Very good and simple explanation though I'd add Linux and Windows in there too.
