We provide Vagrant base boxes that are based on Ubuntu 14.04 and 12.04, 64-bit. These boxes are specifically customized to work well with Docker. Please learn more at the website

The changes in version 2014-04-30 are:

• The Ubuntu 12.04 VirtualBox box in release 2014-02-22 was broken: the VirtualBox guest additions weren’t correctly installed because the kernel was incorrectly installed. This has now been fixed.
• The Ubuntu 12.04 VMWare Fusion box now loads the VMWare Tools kernel modules during startup, so that Vagrant doesn’t have to wait so long at the “Waiting for HGFS kernel module” phase.
• No changes in the Ubuntu 14.04 boxes.
