Re: Docker
Using containers is nothing like using a fully virtualized kernel. It's using cgroups, kernel namespaces, and selinux to isolate applications within Linux and make them easier to deliver. So you can't run a windows app natively in docker. You'd have to run Wine in docker and execute your application that way. It's not a replacement for virtualizaton.

Re: RHEL 7 just hit the market place, I'm looking forward to when we can start testing SL 7
I'm not worried at all if you have a license or not. I'm not your sales rep. :) The way the comment read didn't sit with me well. It sounded dismissive to a lot of work that Red Hatters do for upstream communities all over that allow RHEL, RHEL derivitaves and all other forms of Linux to happen. Not just the kernel, but the un-sexy bits in the middle that make an OS usable. I also can't agree with the the thought that Red Hatters won't dissent against company decisions that they don't agree with. I'm not going to dig through the world archives this late on a Friday but I just don't accept that assumption. Of course I'm a fanboy and an employee. But I'm those things because I believe in how we try to do things. We don't always get it right (see RHEV 1.0 and other debacles). But we try to.

(Of course, since I haven't looked for publicly posted source for SLES in a while, they may have posted it since I last looked and I just don't know about it.)

Re: Any 7 rumors?
I don't know what you mean by 'commercial OS'. Let me rewind a little and make sure I'm completely clear in the point I was trying to make. I blame the horrid hotel room I'm in right now for any confusion. I mostly work in the government space these days. Certifications like Common Criteria, FIPS, FISMA, et al include not only the bits but the build environments/processes/etc. as well. They are time-consuming, expensive and the RHEL certifications for these standards don't apply to SL/CentOS/OEL/foo. You CAN be PCI-compliant with most any Linux distribution if you work hard enough. However, if you find yourself in a PCI violation situation due to the bits (not human error, of course), community-based distributions can provide support through their normal means. Where Red Hat differs with PCI is that they are also legally on the hook in that situation because of the TC's that customers accept at the beginning. It's a two-way street. In those situations, having a vendor that is legally liable to assist and provide remediation is, IMHO, a good thing. Hope that helps.

Re: task blocked for more than 120 seconds
is there a specific bug/bugs you're referring to? a hung task means that a process is sitting on a core waiting on a specific bit of I/O for 120 seconds. Not the length of the entire process, mind you, which depends on countless inputs and outputs to complete, but something on the other side isn't answering for a very long time. It usually means an unhealthy system at some level.
