Details

One of the Vagrant setup steps is "edit the hosts file". There are Vagrant plugins that support making this change - and now it seems there are even some that support Windows (and give a UAC prompt if needed). We'll need to see: (a) If |vagrant plugin install foo| is more hassle than editing the hosts file - and if we can auto-prompt the user if they don't have the plugin installed (should be doable: http://stackoverflow.com/a/25918153) (b) What the experience is on Windows (if it prompts for UAC every time, might get annoying - guess we could disable on Windows and leave that step in the install steps just for them?) http://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/plugins/usage.html https://github.com/smdahlen/vagrant-hostmanager
