Sorry for repost it here, but looks like the lxc-user list doesn't have 
the same rate of view :P

Hi,


We are planning to deploy LXC in production using CentOS 6.3.

The problem is that it ships with kernel 2.6.32-279 per default, and 
AFAIK this is a not recommended version to use with LXC.

Now, the issue is... The kernel Long Term version from EPEL is the 3.0 
version... the Main Line is currently on 3.7 but it's changing the major 
version every 6 weeks.


It would worth the testing overhead of keeping changing the kernel major 
version every 6 weeks to have a bigger then 3.0 running or the 3.0 
version is enough feature complete to use on a production environment?


(Also, as a bonus tip... what LXC version should I use? The 8.x is 
already considered stable? (I run my tests with the 7.5 version))



What you guys think about it?


Thanks in advance,
