Setting up my perfect dev environment on OSX 10.9 using Chef / Kitchenplan

Looks pretty cool. One question, why install local LAMP stack, and not use virtual machines?

If Vagrant is too much effort & hassle, why not have a reasonably basic CentOS (or whatever your main servers are) image on a network share which your devs can clone and mess up to their hearts content?

I used to use the local stuff, which in the end included a whole macports system, but since switching to virtual machines, I'd never want to go back...

Mostly speed, we have full chef cookbooks for our servers and vm's but developing on native ssd's is just faster.

This saved my day! Very helpful thanks!

thanks, faster setup than boxen!

sweet!
