hi kevin,
lxc on ubuntu 14.04 works awesome straight out of the box. Only for
unprivileged container you have to add a single config file in
~/.config/lxc/default.conf, and rest everything works awesome. I am running
it for various use cases now, i generally use it along side chef (to
control the host machine), and can point you to those if need be.
Stephan Graber has a neat series of blog post on 1.0 (
https://linuxcontainers.org/ enlists this at the end). Rami Rossen has
another more thorough presentation on lxc (in depth, which explains
cgroups, namespaces etc as well).

so, in short this will work as it is , skip the build part, just do raw
apt-get install lxc.ld

https://www.stgraber.org/2013/12/20/lxc-1-0-your-first-ubuntu-container/

if there are specific docs, tutorials you think will be helpful, we should
work on getting those inside some wiki or linuxcontainer.org site
@stephan would you be interested on patches for the website regarding docs?
We can also enlist all the presentations, users of lxc there, it will be
very helpful i think. Given there are lot more folks  now use lxc ,

regards
ranjib
