Doug - thanks for the tip on Docker and Allan's Docker file that he
created. Docker looks really cool and could be a great way to distribute a
working environment for NuPIC. Things I really like about it are:

   - Portability
   - Ability to pull changes to the image from a repo so you stay up to
   date without having to download a whole new virtual machine
   - Lighter memory footprint than a full VM

I am going to get up to speed on Docker.

Cheers,

Jeff
