[lxc-users] Newbie: templates and zip downloadables

[Alvaro Miranda Aguilera]

Hello,

The idea behind the template, is that will build a minimal box for you,
from there you can add other software that you will need.

once the new lxc guest have been created, if you think is
better/easier/quicker, you can create a zip/tar.

this approach will allow 1000 of different installations/customizations,
rather than having 1 fixed template.

other advantage, is the template will build a machine that is fully updated.

Alvaro.
