SUMMARY:
  
* CI in a Box automates the setup of a Continuous Integration (CI) system by
  doing The Simplest Thing That Could Possibly Work.
* It consists of two simple scripts to set up a cruisecontrolrb (ccrb) CI server
  from scratch on an Ubuntu 8.04 system: one script to bootstrap Ruby, and
  another script to setup CI.

DESCRIPTION:

* Simplicity Rules. Cinabox is only tested on Ubuntu 8.04.  It may work on 
  other Debian-based systems. If it doesn't work, hack it up yourself
  or try running the commands manually - the scripts are intended to be
  easily readable and easily changed.
* Support: http://thewoolleyweb.lighthouseapp.com/projects/14441-cinabox
* For more detailed and advanced info on Continuous Integration and
  Ubuntu/VMWare setup, see my RailsConf tutorial:

REQUIREMENTS:

* Ubuntu 8.04 and an internet connection

INSTRUCTIONS:

* DISCLAIMER: Cinabox is intended to be run on a clean/dedicated system.  If you
  run it on an existing system, it may blow away some existing configuration. 
* Install Ubuntu 8.04, manually or as a virtual machine:
  * http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download
  * VMWare Player (win): http://www.vmware.com/products/player/
  * VMWare Fusion (mac): http://www.vmware.com/download/fusion/
  * Ubuntu 8.04 VMWare image: 
    * Here's one: http://symbiosoft.net/UbuntuServerMinimalVA
    * Or search for an "Ubuntu 8.04" Operating System VMs that works for you:
