LXC is in the kernel, so it's naturally in main. Libvirt will very
likely be the primary way to manage LXC containers, and libvirt is also
in main.

I personally haven't worked on documentation at all yet, and I probably
wont for a while. We need all the help we can get writing documentation.

VMBuilder will be able to create containers.

Depends on the the other distro, really.

There are (were?) a few bugs in libvirt making this rather difficult,
but they are being fixed (have been fixed?), so

What means "really good LXC ... support" ?
- will LXC be in main or universe?
- What about Documentation? I can not find any wikipage on
wiki.ubuntu.com or help.ubuntu.com
- what about templates? is it easy to create a new container?
- is it possible to use other distros as containers?
- is it actually possible to tryout LXC with karmic? or do i need lucid
as hostsystem?

LXC will be by default in Lucid. Here's a nice page from one of my
colleagues that explains how to do it:
http://stgraber.org/category/lxc

We have the same problem here, even with LXC. There's a problem with
init in Karmic. If you chroot in /var/lib/vz/ and do an apt
dist-upgrade on the current Lucid packages, it should work, at least for
testing purposes.

If you need stable containers, use a Hardy guest.

Very unlikely. We are, however, working on getting really good LXC (the
container technology in the upstream linux kernel) support in Lucid.
I've never used OpenVZ myself, so I don't know what the upgrade path may
be like. :-/

openvz kernel wih lucid?

2009-12-09 Thread tom
Hi,

i use openvz with ubuntu 8.04 (LTS) on my server. 
All the newer releases have no openvz kernel. 
Will be openvz available with ubuntu 10.04 (lucid)?

The problem is, that i can not use ubuntu karmic in the container (see
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/484240 ) so i have
to update the host system but there is no openvz kernel available.

Cheers,

Tom
