Great!  I'll get the site updated.  Yeah, we'll have a projector and a
laptop or two (and Google Docs for whatever slideshow format you
prefer...)

Re: [nlug] Virtualization with LXC (Linux Containers) vs Linux Vserver

I did some brief looking into it while waiting on some processes to
finish at work Friday.

The best I could figure out is that it isn't going to replace vserver
anytime soon. It seems it is a lot like other options in the kernel,
there are competing ways to do this and so as long as people are
supporting it, it will remain in the kernel.

It appears that lxc tries to be more like full virtualization in that
the instructions point to making a bridge out of the real ethernet and
connecting the guests to the bridge instead of directly with the ethernet
card. This could lead to configurations like I have made before where
you create bridges that do not connect to real ethernet cabling but
rather serve as virtual networks between guests. But as I sit here and
ponder this idea more, that is just a modification of the default
configurations, not a technological feat. Vserver should be able to do
this as well.

It also looks like lxc has grown from the openvz project and continues
to add features that are of interest to the hosting companies. Primarily
the idea of setting disk and cpu quotas. This isn't always of need for
home or business as you want any machine that needs cpu time to get it.
Then again, I bet they are looking into that as well, and have some way
of just giving some guests priority over others. 

As of right now, I don't see enough reason to change, but that speaks
more to the I know this set of tools and they are not broken than
anything else.
