Hmmm, this requires a modified or a non-CentOS kernel. Do we really want to start recommending such kernels?

However, if you and/or the other powers that be feel it is almost advocating something that has risks, I certainly understand that. Well, if there is a lot of interest in having container-type of virtualization. It might be interesting to see which of the various alternatives (linux-vserver or openvz) looks best, and see if we can provide it through e.g. the plus repository. Of course, this would require a volunteer who is willing to maintain such a set of patches against the kernel. But if someone is willing to do this, it can profit from CentOS quality assurance, and guarantee good compatibility with CentOS.

Re: [CentOS-docs] Article for wiki consideration
Just a quick note for anyone who hadn't looked at the article but will later do so. Re Daniel's point, that it does encourage the somewhat dangerous custom kernel, I've edited it slightly. At this point, I suspect that it won't be approved, because of the kernel issue, so I've also, in the editing, used a bit of first person. If people did wind up thinking it should be included anyway, I can very easily change that. Once again, thank you for your time and consideration. As it's sometimes difficult to correctly interpret the tone of an email, let me emphasize that I am not at all bothered by Daniel's reluctance--he made a very important point about the kernel, one which I hadn't sufficiently emphasized in the original page. My feeling is that even if it does only stay on my own website, the point about the kernel should be made, hence the editing. -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 ___ CentOS-docs mailing list CentOS-docs@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-docs
