Thank you for the explanation.  I understand much better now.

I didn't know that about WebEnabled.  In that case, I hope I can get
the owl3 working with vagrant.  It wouldn't make sense for me to
switch to Ubuntu if it means losing the web interface.

In any case, I'll post update my veewee repository so owl3 users can
create vagrant boxes if they want to.  It might be useful for some.
