Hi William, the Vagrantfile looks good at first sight, but I have never used the bento/fedora-24 box yet
If you are fine with Ubuntu and keen to use Chef for provisioning your linux desktop, you might wanna have a look at this "template project", which includes testing and self-updateability: - https://github.com/Zuehlke/linux-developer-vm More concrete examples based on this: - https://github.com/Zuehlke/java-developer-vm - https://github.com/tknerr/linus-kitchen If that's where you want to go, you will probably find lots of stuff to reuse from the above. If that's too much and you'd rather keep it simple for now -- I'd suggest to try another basebox, the boxcutter ones <https://github.com/boxcutter/> are really a good choice (pick your favorite OS) HTH, Torben On Fri, Jan 13, 2017 at 10:07 PM, William Saxton <sax...@gmail.com> wrote: > Perhaps it's an issue with not understanding Virtualbox, but I'm trying to > create a simple Linux Desktop environment on my Windows 10 system and the > "desktop" never appears (the virtualbox UI is still showing a CLI).
