 Creating your own demo server with Vagrant
 ========
-This source code repository includes configuration files to materialize an _entire_ server implementation in a single virtual machine (VM) image from scratch, allowing you to quickly bootstrap your own instance. The server will be completely encapsulated within the created VM image. The process _should_ run on OSX, Linux and Windows, but YMMV. The built-in settings support creation of a *VirtualBox*-based image on Ubuntu Linux, though with tuning the base image you should be able to create images suitable for other hypervisors and cloud-based IaaS providers such as VMware and Amazon Web Services (AWS), respectively.
