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.
