[lxc-users] LXC and LXD support across distributions

Hi All,

This is a period of transition for LXC unprivileged containers, LXD,
Systemd and cgroups and its becoming difficult to track all the issues
without intense knowledge.

I have put together an LXC and LXD support chart for various distribution.

http://www.flockport.com/lxc-and-lxd-support-across-distributions

The main issues that need clarity:

1. Running systemd hosts and containers, and the role of lxcfs
2. cgroup management in systemd and the role of cgmanager,
3. Unprivileged containers and all the various bits needed - uidmap,
userns, libpam-systemd, systemd-shim, cgmanager
4. LXD

The chart is based on testing on the various distributions , reading of the
lists but it's far from complete.  I have possibly got a number of things
wrong and would appreciate feedback.

I think could be useful to have something like this on the
linuxcontainers.org itself that is maintained.

Thanks
Tobby
