3. Check ruby and rubygems versions
4. Install berkshelf gem

5. Install berkshelf vagrant plugin
    vagrant plugin install vagrant-berkshelf --plugin-version '1.2.0'

    Sidebar: We can discuss the steps that went into bootstrap this precise box to make it chef 11.04 (galden imageing)
      1. Dowload base box (http://www.vagrantbox.es) -- DO NOT DO THIS IN THE TRAINING PLEASE
      2. Add the box to vagrant
        vagrant box add precise64 /PATH/TO/precise64.box
      3. Make a vagrant directory to provision the VM. This will produce a default Vagrantfile
        mkdir FOO && cd FOO && vagrant init
      4. Edit the vagrant file to use the box you just added. Edit other config as needed.
        config.vm.box = "precise64"
      5. Run vagrant up to provision
        vagrant up
      6. SSH into the new VM
        vagrant ssh
      7. Run the Opscode omnibus installer (sudo su if you prefer)
        curl -L https://www.opscode.com/chef/install.sh | sudo bash
      8. Exit the VM
        exit
      9. Package the VM as a golden image
        vagrant package precise64 (this will produce precise64.box again so use the --output flag)
      10. Add new box to vagrant and use in future Vagrantfile(s)
        vagrant box add SHINY_NEW_BOX /PATH/TO/GOLDEN_IMAGE.box

7. Copy latest Berkshelf and Vagrant file provided by Crifkin to ./crifkin/
8. Open the files and review. Make edits as needed (box name and/or IP)
9. Finally run vagrant up
