 h2. What is Vagrant
 
-"Vagrant is a tool for building and distributing virtualized development environments." This sentence summarize perfectly what it is.
+"Vagrant is a tool for building and distributing virtualized development environments." This sentence summarizes perfectly the project.
 
 The idea is to use "Chef":http://www.opscode.com/chef on top of "VirtualBox":http://www.virtualbox.org/ to deploy a VM like you would deploy a server in your production environment.
 
-I won't go in details to describe Chef and VirtualBox, but here is a quick reminder. Chef is a framework to deploy infrastructure. It's in ruby, it uses *cookbooks* to describe how to deploy stuff, and VirtualBox is a virtualization software from -Sun- Oracle.

-bq. A little disclaimer. I don't use Chef outside from vagrant, so I may say/do some stupid things. The aim of this tutorial is not about writing a recipe for Chef, but to show what you can do thanks to Chef.  So Don't hesitate to correct me in the comments if I'm doing some utterly stupid things.

 h2. and now the awesome part
 
-If you're like me, you may end up with the need to have multiple VMs which will talk to each others. Common scenarios are a VM with the website, and another one with the DB, or one VM with a bunch of API webservices and another with Workers who need to interact with the VM. Rejoice, this kind of stuff is also handle by vagrant!
