[lxc-users] Looking for Opensuse template

[CDR]

I did the same for Debian, created a container in Debian transported
it to the Fedora Host. Then I installed an Ubuntu server and
transported Fedora 20 and Debian containers.
My client uses the paid version of Suse, called Suse Enterprise.Linux.
Do you know if they support LXC containers? I am about to decide what
host to use for LXC.
The kernel is identical between Fedora 20 and Ubuntu Server. How is it
with Suse Enterprise Linux?
What is your take on this?
