 So yeah. That's, uh, *not great.*
 
-If you've got any **Windows Server 2022** VMs with **Secure Boot** enabled on **ESXi 6.7/7.x**, you'll want to make sure they *do not* get **KB5022842** until this problem is resolved.

 I put together a quick PowerCLI query to help identify impacted VMs in my environment:
 ```powershell
 $secureBoot2022VMs = foreach($datacenter in (Get-Datacenter)) {
   $datacenter | Get-VM |
-    Where {$_.Guest.OsFullName -Match 'Microsoft Windows Server 2022' -And $_.ExtensionData.Config.BootOptions.EfiSecureBootEnabled} |
-      Select @{N="Datacenter";E={$datacenter.Name}},
-        Name, @{N="Running OS";E={$_.Guest.OsFullName}},
+    Where-Object {$_.Guest.OsFullName -Match 'Microsoft Windows Server 2022' -And $_.ExtensionData.Config.BootOptions.EfiSecureBootEnabled} |

+I've lately been trying to do more with [Salt](https://saltproject.io/) at work, but I'm still very much a novice with that tool. I thought it would be great to have a nice little lab environment where I could deploy a few lightweight VMs and practice managing them with Salt - without impacting any systems that are actually being used for anything. I thought it might be fun to create and manage the VMs with [HashiCorp Vagrant](https://www.vagrantup.com/), which provides a declarative way to define what the VMs should look like. That will make it easy to build up, destroy, and redeploy a development environment in a simple, repeatable way.
+
+Also, because I'm a bit of a sadist, I wanted to do this all on my new [Framework Chromebook](https://frame.work/laptop-chromebook-12-gen-intel). I might as well put my 32GB of RAM to good use, right? It took a bit of fumbling, but this article describes what it took to get a Vagrant VM up and running in the [Linux Development Environment](https://chromeos.dev/en/linux) on my Chromebook (which is currently running ChromeOS v111 beta).
+
+### Install the prerequisites
+There are are a few packages which need to be installed before we can move on to the Vagrant-specific stuff. It's quite possible that these are already on your system.... but if they *aren't* already present you'll have a bad problem[^problem].
+```shell
+sudo apt update
+sudo apt install \
+  build-essential \
+  gpg \
+  lsb-release \
+  wget
+```
+
+[^problem]: and [will not go to space today](https://xkcd.com/1133/).
+I'll be configuring Vagrant to use [`libvirt`](https://libvirt.org/) to interface with the [Kernel Virtual Machine (KVM)](https://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Main_Page) virtualization solution (rather than something like VirtualBox that would bring more overhead) so I'll need to install some packages for that as well:
+```shell
+sudo apt install virt-manager libvirt-dev
+```
+
+And to avoid having to `sudo` each time I interact with `libvirt`, I'll add myself to that group:
+```shell
+sudo gpasswd -a $USER libvirt ; newgrp libvirt
+```
+
+Add HashiCorp repo:
+```shell
+wget -O- https://apt.releases.hashicorp.com/gpg | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/hashicorp-archive-keyring.gpg
+echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/hashicorp-archive-keyring.gpg] https://apt.releases.hashicorp.com $(lsb_release -cs) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hashicorp.list
+```
+
+Install `vagrant` and plugins:
+```shell
+sudo apt update
+sudo apt install vagrant
+vagrant plugin install vagrant-libvirt
+```
+
+Prepare a Vagrant directory:
+```shell
+mkdir vagrant-bullseye
+cd vagrant-bullseye
+vagrant init debian/bullseye64
+```
+
+Install `rsync`:
+```shell
+sudo apt install rsync
+```
+
+Enable `rsync` (and disable NFS, which isn't supported within LXD) for Vagrant by editing the `Vagrantfile` to include:
+```
+  config.nfs.verify_installed = false
+  config.vm.synced_folder '.', '/vagrant', type: 'rsync'
+```
+
+Start the VM:
+```shell
+vagrant up
+```
+
+Log in:
+```shell
+vagrant ssh
+```
+
