Revert "Merge pull request #1552 from ehazlett/b2d-next"

[nathanleclaire]

This reverts commit 736ebb1, reversing
changes made to c6660bf.

Previously we were planning to move to a new Debian-based boot2docker, but it was decided at a high level that we were trying to do so too fast to do it properly for the 0.4.0 release. So, we are reverting this for now to revisit the issue for the next release, ideally with a proper migration path and strategy in place.

@ehazlett will the new b2d be used in the next release of machine ? is there a PR that brings this back ?

[nathanleclaire]

@Runseb At some point, we will migrate over to a new OS for Machine (there have been some chronic issues with TCL), but due to the migration issues we are likely to encounter (custom b2d setups etc.) we're delaying it until we are very convinced it will be worth it to prioritize.

ok @nathanleclaire thanks, just curious as I have a b2d variant I would love to use with machine. need to test how to make it work with current vbox provider.

@Runseb Cool in the meantime you can load custom ISOs with the --virtualbox-boot2docker-url flag (you might know that already, but they don't have to be boot2docker ISOs per se, just compatible with the same model), we are open as well to improving the VirtualBox driver as well to be more flexible, just haven't had time to work on it ourselves.

ok @nathanleclaire will try to have a look
