Thanks... that is pretty much the plan as per other message for LXC. (See 
other other reply too.. Thanks though.. I do this for a ton of other stuff, 
just not LXC right now. Most of these are headless servers running LAMP stuff 
for "dev/testing" and then pushed to servers.

I am more interested in comments in re LXC v. VM setup... both are pretty 
"heavy" in terms of solutions for the single issue I have... Unfortunately I 
was pushed to this due to my vary persnickerty tastes in email clients. I like 
that KMail doesn't deal with HaTeMailL, and just barfs all over it! :)  Plus 
the decades worth of mail spool, filters, and that KMail2 is just broken on 
imports, and a long list of stuff not really cogent for this list/discussion.

I am thinking that LXC might actually have some advantages for the LONG TERM?
myabe not... I am just more curious to hear others.. Obviously this list is 
probably leaning more to an LXC solution, but like I said both are really 
killing gnats with an F-4 phantom and napalm. :) ;)

Any views, opinions, comments in re that LXC might be better, worse, even v. a 
VM??? Just curious, as I probably am going the LXC route, as it gives me 
another test use case. I found the LXC containers for LAMP dev/testing to be 
quite a hit with my group v. a VM setup for them.
