I recently started using a workstation with 16G ram, which gives
me the luxury of working with VirtualBox virtual machines without
slowing my machine to a crawl. Using VirtualBox is dead simple.

This morning I was able to isolate some buildout / setuptools stuff
by cloning the basic VM, installing packages in different ways, each
time on a squeaky clean VM.

I heartily recommend VMs for investigating dependency hell, as well
as enforcing the proper discipline required for "configuration as code"
- working in an environment which is described in code as apposed to
the result of lots of trial and error.

Thanks,
Kent
