I'd like to get more confident with linux and VPS management, as of now I've mostly used linux in shared hosting (in the few cases where SSH was enabled, else my only interface was cPanel).
Since I usually work on windows machines, I wanted to test out with Virtualbox, but was wondering what would be the most similar reproduction of a generic hosted VPS: running a flat distro in VB (was thinking Debian) or a Vagrant prebuilt image?
I've already used Vagrant few times but was quite discouraged by the very poor performance I've experienced, so I was wondering if a flat distro image would be more performant due to possible overhead that Vagrant could cause on top of VB.
I'd like to use this only for development and testing, not as an actual production environment.
