lxc Linux Containers
Is anyone interested in the LXC visualization? If so have you used it before or would you just like to?
If I offered a few beta accounts / free trails would anyone want one?
Comments
Interesting.
Gonna say no on that one
Would try for sure
Sure
I'm in, tried to play around with lxc before. Now i have a folder with old /proc and /dev stuff lying around that i can't delete.
I think lxc would be very interesting since it doesn't need a patched kernel.
So, i'd take one
will this replace OVZ in the future?
@BlueVM count me in!
I had a quick look at it, and it seems comparable to OpenVZ/vServer.
Are there any advantages to using LXC over OpenVZ?
@ElliotJ I heard it was more isolated
I'd also like to try one out for sure.
Yes I would like to try one. I looked at LXC a couple years ago, but it wasn't ready for prime time.
I do not know any about it, but I would like to have a try.
yes and no. yes if many developer start to develop it and make it compatible/available in all well-known vps control panel.
no, as the above statement, it's pretty hard to replace OVZ. perhaps next 5 years? :P
Might take a little more than a control panel...
LXC won't catch on (at least in the hosting biz) until they fix all the security issues.
Ah, so all the others are free of security holes...

OpenVZ is immune to chroot escape methods, LXC is prone to pretty much all of them.
