I've used Boot2Docker - it's "point, click and ship Docker hosting" for
Windows or MacOS X and it bundles the open-source piece of VirtualBox to
get that done. I haven't used it on a Mac but on Windows you download an
installer and run it. It installs VirtualBox, Windows MSYS Git and the
Boot2Docker Linux infrastructure.
You double-click on a desktop icon and it creates a VM for the Linux Docker
host, fires it up connected to a VirtualBox host-only network and gives you
a command line window in the VM where you can do "docker run" on anything
from Docker Hub, or build your own images and containers.
My own personal testing is down a different path - I'm testing Atomic as a
guest in the "native" Windows 8.1+ (Client) Hyper-V. I've hit a few bugs
with Fedora, most notably
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1097772, but I have gotten
Atomic to boot and talk to the command line - next step is to hook up
networking and verify that containers can talk to, for example, a browser.

I think there's some additional tooling around boot2docker, but I have
to admit I haven't used it + don't know enough about it. Maybe something
to test around the holidays.
So the question may well be "is Fedora / Project Atomic" going to do
something that fills *all* the requirements of boot2docker.
The answer right now is "TBD" -- but if we have folks who want to work
on the additional requirements above/beyond what's already in Atomic,
I'd be happy to try to help make that happen.
Best,
jzb
