I'm not at all convinced. LXC seems downright abandoned compared to the other two, upstream or not. It's documentation was also pretty much non-existant last time I checked. Also, at least a while back, certain functionality of OpenVZ and Vserver was being pushed upstream and consolidated with LXC, so the differences between them are shrinking. Unless I'm very badly misremembering, OpenStack on ARM is using Vserver. I also can't help but feel at least partially responsible for that: http://www.paul.sladen.org/vserver/archives/201103/0081.html I had helped with dietlibc debugging on ARM specifically for Vserver userspace. Anyway, I'm confident that Vserver isn't going away any time soon. :-) Gordan ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="leitlhttp://leitl.org">leitl</a> http://leitl.org ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://www.ativel.com http://postbiota.org 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE
