# Getting Started with Vagrant
-Web developers use virtual environments every day with their web applications. From EC2 and Rackspace Cloud to specialized
-solutions such as EngineYard and Heroku, virtualization is the tool of choice for easy deployment and infrastructure management.
-Vagrant aims to take those very same principals and put them to work in the heart of the application lifecycle.
-By providing easy to configure, lightweight, reproducible, and portable virtual machines targeted at
-development environments, Vagrant helps maximize your productivity and flexibility.
+Vagrant uses [Sun's VirtualBox](http://www.virtualbox.org)
+to build configurable, lightweight, and portable virtual machines dynamically.
+The first couple pages serve to introduce you to Vagrant and what it has
+to offer while the rest of the guide is a technical walkthrough for building a
+fully functional Ruby on Rails development environment. The getting started
+guide concludes by explaining how to package the newly created vagrant environment
+so other developers can get up and running in just a couple commands.
## Install Vagrant

+# Why Vagrant?
+
+Web developers use virtual environments every day with their web applications. From EC2 and Rackspace Cloud to specialized
+solutions such as EngineYard and Heroku, virtualization is the tool of choice for easy deployment and infrastructure management.
+Vagrant aims to take those very same principals and put them to work in the heart of the application lifecycle.
+By providing easy to configure, lightweight, reproducible, and portable virtual machines targeted at
+development environments, Vagrant helps maximize your productivity and flexibility.
+
+Vagrant is a development tool which stands on the shoulders of giants, using tried and
+proven technologies to achieve its magic. Vagrant uses [Sun's VirtualBox](http://www.virtualbox.org)
+to create its virtual machines and then uses [Chef](http://www.opscode.org/chef) to provision them.
