title: Running Vagrant Inside VMWare VM
body: <p>I realize this is essentially OSCeption (Operating System Inception), but I think it might make the most sense for me (please tell me if there's a better option, this seems really awful).</p>
  
  <p><strong>Here's the situation:</strong>
  I have a windows 8 machine. I like it - it works great for everything but development. For development, I've been using a VMWare virtual machine running Ubuntu. I've dabbled with using Cygwin, but it just didn't feel right.</p>
  
  <p>I'm now joining a project where they've been using Vagrant to manage development environments so I need to be able to use Vagrant. But, from what I've seen, Vagrant is mainly used to run code within a consistent environment, but not necessarily to write it. And if I wanted to write code by SSH'ing into my vagrant boxes, then I would have to re-configure my preferences like my .vimrc file and what not for every machine.</p>
  
  <p>Does it then make sense to install Vagrant within my Ubuntu VirtualMachine? I feel like at some point VMs within VMs will get out of hand and cause problems. Is there any better way to do this?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit:</strong> So I tried it out - as I expected I hit some errors.  When I try and boot the machine, I get the following error message:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Failed to open a session for the virtual machine vagranttest_1371583212.
  
  VT-x is not available. (VERR_VMX_NO_VMX).
  
  Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
  Component: Console
  Interface: IConsole {db7ab4ca-2a3f-4183-9243-c1208da92392}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Looks like my vmware virtual machine can't run another virtual machine. Any ideas on the best way to go about doing this?</p>
