Dear,

Create your own base box (I used the boxes from HashiCorp but I discover 
that the boxes contain too much stuff that I did want) and use vagrant and 
Jenkins to create the final box that you want, I did it wih Ubuntu 14.04 
and I ran some shell scripts to create the box that I want, ooops, that the 
developpers need:
- base-Ubuntu14.04 server: only vagrant stuff to start the box and do ssh: 
only openssh running
- base-lamp: from the base-Ubuntu14.04 I ran some shell scripts from the 
Vagrantfile to add: apache2, MySQL, PHP, package the box, save it to Nexus 
or WebDav NAS.  Automate this processus with Jenkins and every monday 
morning my developpers have a brand new box to play (Jenkins runs during 
the week-end the job to update the box (apt-get stuff, do the packaging and 
save it to Nexus or WebDav NAS)
- lubuntu1404: from the base-ubuntu1404 I create an Lubuntu desktop with 
grails IDE, Chrome, RapidSvn, etc, for the developpers
- base-tomcat7mysql: from thebase-ubuntu1404 I installed Oracle JDK7 + 
tomcat7 + Percona MySQL
- the process is endless...

Have Fun :)
