Docker newbie here. (Actually, not even a newbie: Docker's on my to-play-with list but I've not got round to it yet.)
> Docker out of the box can now manipulate namespaces, control groups, capabilities, apparmor profiles, network interfaces and firewalling rules – all in a consistent and predictable way, and without depending on LXC or any other userland package. This drastically reduces the number of moving parts, and insulates Docker from the side-effects introduced across versions and distributions of LXC.
Does this mean Docker is no longer tied to Ubuntu, merely to any sufficiently modern Linux kernel? The install instructions still recommend Ubuntu.
