virtualenv and ubuntu

[Kunal Jamdade]

Hi,

If you install with sudo it is installed for 2 users i.e current logged in
as well as root. So if one login as root can use the installed "env".

But if you install it with pip it will be used by the current logged in
user.

In my opinion, use pip to install virtualenv
