[lxc-users] LXC Stability Question

[Alvaro Miranda Aguilera]

Hello,

I think the article intention was describe the environment at 2013

since Oracle Linux 6.5 LXC is supported with the OS.

Talking about LXC, it does work pretty good, the key is to understand what
it does and what it doesn't and avoid generalizations and simplifacions.

Alvaro.
