I am in a situation where I am looking to possibly use LXC as a way to run ONE
specific program that needs an X desktop.
What I am comparing is LXC v. my normal method a VM.
Why do I need to run one program... email. I only use KMail, but since
changes to that program are not to my liking (outside the scope of this list),
and I would like to upgrade my main box to the latest ESR release, 14.04.
BUT I need my Kmail! (Thanks, but I am a Kmail only person, no other program
meets my approval, thanks.)
I would Xephyr to the LXC container
The setup would be
LXC from 14.04
LXC container with the last normal KMail, I think 11.04/11.10? with X, and
then I just Xephyr into it, basically it creates a window that has my email
running.
I get to keep my setup, and emails, and none of the issues with the
"improvements" of KMail2.
So comments in re LXC v. VM to do just one program.
