Re: [Swarm-Support] Esiest way to install SWARM?

[Cristiano Fontana]

The idea of installing swarm on a virtual machine is not that absurd.
I am using VirtualBox http://www.virtualbox.org/ right now and the speed of the 
virtual machine is nearly native.
The examples are running pretty fast, so I can say that this is a good solution.
