Sounds like a very good solution. As a matter of interest, how do you use the ubuntu kernels with vserver patches on your sarge box? Do you add the ubuntu repositories to sources.list and install the ubuntu kernel source of choice? - which vserver patches do you use then? those from the ubuntu vserver-patch package or directly from Herbert? How do you then deal with security updates? Get the updated kernel source release and patch and rebuild? > enough of my ranting. that's my posting for the month, so the list doesn't > have to worry about my multi-kilobyte ramblings for a while. :-D All informative, so thanks ;-) Cheers, Tom _______________________________________________ Vserver mailing list [email protected] http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver
