+## Ubuntu Trusty 14.04 (LTS) (64-bit)
+
+Ubuntu Trusty comes with a 3.13.0 Linux kernel, and a `docker.io` package which
+installs all its prerequisites from Ubuntu's repository.
+
+> **Note**:
+> Ubuntu (and Debian) contain a much older KDE3/GNOME2 package called ``docker``, so the
+> package and the executable are called ``docker.io``.
+
+### Installation
+
+To install the latest Ubuntu package (may not be the latest Docker release):
+
+    sudo apt-get update
+    sudo apt-get install docker.io
+    sudo ln -sf /usr/bin/docker.io /usr/local/bin/docker
+
+To verify that everything has worked as expected:
+
+    sudo docker run -i -t ubuntu /bin/bash
+
+Which should download the `ubuntu` image, and then start `bash` in a container.
+
+
 ## Ubuntu Precise 12.04 (LTS) (64-bit)
 
 This installation path should work at all times.
