vagrant-libvirt and Bridged Networking

Once I had a way to install virtual machines on my Ubuntu home lab server, my next goal was to be able to directly SSH into them from my laptop.

Effective reading involves a great deal of work on the reader's part and can't simply be a passive act. It requires actually thinking about what's on the page and making personal connections before the content can really be understood and "learned".
