[Lxc-users] Container with X system(s)

[Michael Fox]

I've installed a Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS container purely to run as a
mythtvbackend, just to see if I could get it to work. Of course mythtv
requires X windows so that you can do the initial configuration of the
backend etc. I just ssh'd into the container where this was installed/setup
and forwarded the X window back to my PC using xming software.

It seemed to work okay, not sure how it might be if you were to use an X
windows app like this day and day out though.

Thanks
Michael Fox
