Ok. I know it's a sign of ignorance but to me a vagrant is a guy with a sleeping bag down by the bus station. Please explain on the project page :)

It is quite a cool tramp though.

Vagrant gives you the tools to build unique development environments for each project once and then easily tear them down and rebuild them only when they’re needed so you can save time and frustration.

So I believe it is something like FAI or Kickstart but as far as I can tell only for virtual machines. And this project allows for easy configuration of Drush to be able to execute Drush commands on any Drupal installations residing on these VMs. Am I right?

Nice, thanks. Hope this can get added to the project page.

I wonder if there's collaboration that should be done with the Quickstart project, which provides a very nice Virtualbox VM preconfigured for Drupal.

I do definitely need to link to Vagrant. There is also a Drupal Vagrant project at http://drupal.org/project/vagrant, but it configures an Ubuntu box with Chef, whereas I mostly configure CentOS boxes these days using Puppet. :)

I updated the project page with the description from #1 (thanks @xatoo!), and a link to vagrantup.com.

I've made a lot of progress made on #1504670: Discuss merging Vagrant-based Drupal/Drush projects, so I'm considering adding some description of the new functionality in the 2.x branch.
