the plus that you can use a stock VM if you're going to run Linux anyway.
But MediaWiki-Vagrant uses a "stock VM". Its Vagrantfile loads a
trusty-server-cloudimg-amd64-vagrant-disk1.box which contains a vmdk that
as far as I know is much like other Ubuntu VMs.
When you use the VirtualBox provider, it starts by copying that stock
VM. However, it then makes it MediaWiki-specific in many ways (running
services, contents of /vagrant, etc.)
My understanding is that the LXC provider allows essentially any Ubuntu
VM. Then, you can use that VM for general work, as well as run one or
more LXC containers (including but not limited to the MWV one) in isolation.
With the VirtualBox provider, you can't run multiple different Vagrants
(e.g. WordPress, MediaWiki, etc.) on one VM.
