Docker will be changing to just listen on a unix domain socket by default.

CoreOS is an operating system designed to run docker containers. You would use it as lighter weight replacement for something like Ubuntu as the base os that Docker runs on. When you install CoreOS you basically just get a kernel, Docker and etcd plus a minimal number of other processes. Etcd is designed as a way to allow a distributed set of containers to self-configure.

Flynn is an open source project to build a "platform as a service" platform on top of Docker. In theory Flynn could run on top of CoreOS.

Docker is the core of everything.

Yep, jails, containers, solaris zones all the way back to IBM mainframes have been similar core technologies. Docker it self isn't containerization, Docker builds on Linux containers but adds a layer to dramatically simplify the build, distribution and execution of containers and that's what makes it game changing.

docker run gtihub.com/some/project

That command will clone, build and execute a container based on the contents of a repository by simply dropping a Dockerfile in the root of the project. That's a fundamentally different level of usage beyond any existing container technology.

The browser is already a thick client with local storage and lots of local logic. The difference is that the entire client is shipped to the browser on demand.

Yep I'm just a fan and minor contributor to Docker. Thought it was interesting to see a book so early but I do agree it's probably too early. Docker is changing fast. Version 0.5 should likely be out today.

What makes this different/better than something like flatstrap?
