[lxc-users] LXD, LXC... and ? ? ?

[Stéphane Graber]

Docker's meant to run application containers, LXC and LXD are meant to
run full system containers. Of course they can both be made to do the
other's job (and after all Docker started as a layer on top of LXC) but
that's their individual focus and so their respective user experience
will be targeted at one or the other.
