I guess it's time to build myself a vm on the laptop (probably with

If my code works I may switch the production env over and see how that goes.
Look into virtualbox, vagrant and veewee, the three combined make an
extremely flexible, powerful and cool solution that can automatically
build a vm with your repository applied to it. Pure magic :)
I tried getting puppet to manage virtualbox nodes but gave up when it
looked like I needed to deploy a dhcp setup with tftp and pxe to make
it work.
Those three look like a pretty handy trio though.
I was using xen for vm's in my last job and manageing them with puppet
but no one likes xen anymore (especially major linux distros) so my
current environment is setup with kvm, cobbler and koan all managed by
puppet.
I have linux on my laptop so i will just use my current config and
build me a new test environment :)
VirtualBox will host PXE and TFTP services for your VM's when using the
NAT interface:

I got this working before I found out how awesome vagrant and veewee are.
You'll need VM's with NAT and host-only NIC's. vagrant can set the IP's
for the host-only network.
If you're using a puppet server, instead of serverless puppet, then it
will have to go over the host-only network.
