Has anyone on the list use LXC containers? I was thinking today that maybe they'd be ideal for installing several desktop distros simultaneously and using them on my desktop with full access to the video hardware. I never have had good luck running things like Gnome Shell or Cinnamon in a virtual machine (either KVM or VirtualBox). It'd be nice to be able to try out the full distro experience without wiping my current install. I realize all LXC containers share the same kernel, so I'd have to have a fairly modern distro running as host. I did some quick research and found a couple of people saying they run their desktop environment in a LXC with full nvidia binary drivers even. Apparently you just need to make sure the right device nodes are thunked through into the container (say /dev/dri or /dev/nvidia*) and that the GL drivers match the kernel driver version.
Anyone had experience with LXC that would like to share his or her experience? thanks Michael /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
