[lxc-users] LXC Stability Question

[Martín Cigorraga]

Good day,

Oracle... when not!
I'm a newbie to LxC too, I've been running it on my home and office for
about a 4 months now and I can only say it rocks.
Of course one important thing - and may be the most important at all [0] -
is that the kernels you run inside the containers SUPPORTS cgroups and the
other technologies required by LxC.
Said that, for the sake of usability I just switched to Doker+LxC a few
days ago and I love it, for me Docker act as the perfect front-end to the
excellent LxC.

Cheers!
