Nevertheless, I consider recent 3.x patches at least as stable as the mainline kernels, so something like vs2.3.6.8 should work quite well and provide all the features you know from Linux-VServer and mainline. > As far as I can tell, there has been no news since, so > the official stable Linux-Vserver release is still kernel > 2.6.22.19-vs2.2.0.7 from march 2008 :) Yes, that was the last patch 'officially' labeled 'stable'. > How is stabilization going nowadays? At the moment, we are trying to catch up with mainline, i.e. 3.12/3.13 and as contributions have basically stopped, we are doing the best to maintain the existing patches and slowly adapt to recent changes. > Is there anything one can do to help?
