[Lxc-users] Control panel

[matthew byers]

Oh i wasnt suggesting switching to proxmox, i was speaking mostly on the
control panel it uses and some of the stuff that can be incorporated into
this lxc panel. i used proxmox before too and i highly enjoy it but i am
unable to use my extra drives in my server unless i setup lvm which i dont
want.
