Is it? I was very frustrated that OpenVZ's latest 'stable' release was for 2.6.18 and trying to patch it into a current keren was nigh-on impossible. I even tried the Debin kernels with their patches but in all cases it produced a kernel that would not boot, so I gave up. LXC is supported in the kernel without any patches and it now working well for me, so I'm sticking to it. > But then again, lxc uses much of the work on containers done also by and > for OpenVZ.

And LXC got into the kernel before the others - what that means is anyones guess - probably because it was sponsored/written by IBM? Actually, I'm quite impressed by it so-far - I've had no need to look at virtual stuff for a while, but did some investigations recently for another project and the whole idea of Containers is growing on me rapidly... I get a feeling that it's going to be better suited for running things like asterisk than full-on virtualisation might be.
