I have taken some courses that provide a .vdi file for Virtual Box so that students don't have to configure their own machines. How can I create one of these images with Ubuntu on it? What is the best way to configure it? Should I use some tool like Vagrant, Chef, or Puppet (I haven't used any of these so I don't know exactly what they are for)?

There are lots of internet pages that offer different Ubuntu images in different configurations. The two top google hits are:
But there are lots more. Note that you can also use vmdk (VMWare) images and import them to VirtualBox. VMPlanet is the leading site for VMWare images.

How do you create them from scratch? #1 seems a little shady. – mushroom Jun 06 '14 at 23:53

1The easier way is to install Ubuntu in VBox, install the needed packages and share the VDI. – Javier Rivera Jun 07 '14 at 09:41
