Boxes from vagrantbox.es

This is highly popular on the web, but most of these boxes come from peoples’s Dropboxes. I’m not a security expert, but I have a bad feeling downloading linuxes from unverified locations, it is – in theory – possible that bad people installed bad stuff there, I’m especially afraid of keyloggers that grad ssh keys or git(hub) passwords. Try these boxes on your own risk. http://www.vagrantbox.es/

I just used some vagrant script based on the puppetlabs boxes. what’s a bit ugly: it seems their SLES box uses some SDK mirror off the internet. Really bad style to use a private mirror…

Don’t leave out Ubuntu’s official Cloud Images; they have Vagrant boxes in the “vagrant” folder: http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/
