I can vouch for openrc in a vserver as well.  I have it running on about 10
different vservers without problem.  Actually, I used to run into occasional
problem with regular baselayout.  Now, with baselayout-2, I haven't had a
single problem.

there is no other way to do it, except you hack the init script from
baselayout-1 on your own


hmm..maybe i can sneak it on.... what are the caveats on this... i have not
looked into it at all... any problems with traditional layouts/packages/etc
or unexplained hiccups in start/stop of the vserver? i guess im asking is if
there is anything noticable to the mildly trained eye when watching it work.
if not i might get away with it and use a 2008 stage.

we use baselayout-2/openrc at work since it was still named baselayout-1.13 and i worked together with roy (the openrc maintainer) for the last year to make everything work out of the box inside vservers and it works very nice since openrc-0.2.2, never had any problems with it (deployed on about 50 vservers currently)
