Try vagrant (http://www.vagrantup.com/) and spin up a VM!

Note that `vagrant up` NEEDS to be run from an admin console for Level 2. The sample application is written in node, and npm wants to make symlinks on the mounted Windows filesystem, which is apparently a privileged operation.

It's a bit of a shame the test harness isn't Windows compatible; it's rather small, and it doesn't look like the fixes required would have been very difficult.

I figured I could either spend the next week fighting script execution on Windows or just spin up a linux VM and be good to go. I wound up installing ubuntu manually on a VirtualBox instance. Had heard of Vagrant, but didn't realize what it offered!

Working great with vagrant+VirtualBox here on Windows. I initially set it up to try out the CTF docker image, but it's working fine straight out of the precise64 box (+ an apt-get git)
