## Base Operating Systems
The default base operating system for Machine is Boot2Docker on local providers
The Machine provisioning system supports several base operating systems.
The default base operating system is Boot2Docker on local providers
(VirtualBox, Fusion, Hyper-V, etc) and the latest Ubuntu LTS supported
by the cloud provider. RedHat Enterprise Linux is also supported. To use
RHEL, you will need to select the image accordingly with the provider. For
example, in Amazon EC2, you could use a RedHat 7.1 AMI ("ami-12663b7a") as the
`--amazonec2-ami` option which create an instance using RHEL 7.1 64-bit.
by the cloud provider.

### Version 0.2.0 (April 16, 2015)
For complete information on this release, see the [0.2.0 Milestone project page](https://github.com/docker/machine/wiki/0.2.0-Milestone-Project-Page).
In addition to bug fixes and refinements, this release adds the following:
* Updated and refactored Driver interface For details, see
[PR #694](https://github.com/docker/machine/pull/694).
* Initial creation of an internal API, so Machine can be used as a library. For
details, see [PR #553](https://github.com/docker/machine/issues/553).
* Improvements and isolation of provisioning functionality, so Machine can
provision and configure the Docker Engine based on OS detection. For details,
see [PR #553](https://github.com/docker/machine/issues/553).
If you want to use a different base operating system on a remote provider,
you will need to select the image accordingly for that provider. For
example, on DigitalOcean you would use the `--digitalocean-image` flag.
For Amazon AWS, you would use the `--amazonec2-ami` flag.
