"The Parallels provider for Vagrant is a plugin officially supported by Parallels. The plugin allows Vagrant to power Parallels Desktop for Mac based virtual machines" http://parallels.github.io/vagrant-parallels/ LXC on a Linux host should be faster than Vagrant VM, but it's hard to see how running Vagrant as an LXC in a VM on a Mac can be faster than running Vagrant as its own VM. 8-) -- =S Page WMF Tech writer _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
