If you are going to use it for Linux development... Just install Vagrant
and VirtualBox on it. This will build your VMs and tear them down as
needed. Works on Windows, Mac, and Linux. I have been working on
combining Vagrant and Docker in both Windows and Linux environments with
good luck recently. But Boot2Docker (required on Windows and Mac) requires
VirtualBox to run.
Good luck with whatever you purchase.
