LXC 1.0 works with kernels as far down as 2.6.32, I believe the sysvinit script is currently mostly used on RHEL6, Oracle and clones. The list of features obviously varies based on the kernel, lxc-attach is only really useful starting with 3.8 and unprivileged containers only start working with 3.12, but the rest mostly works on all >= 2.6.32 kernels. > > -- > Gianluigi Tiesi <sher...@netfarm.it> > EDP Project Leader > Netfarm S.r.l. - http://www.netfarm.it/ > Free Software: http://oss.netfarm.it/ > > Q: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. > A: Why is putting a reply at the top of the message frowned upon? > _______________________________________________ > lxc-devel mailing list > lxc-devel@lists.linuxcontainers.org > http://lists.linuxcontainers.org/listinfo/lxc-devel -- Stéphane Graber Ubuntu developer http://www.ubuntu.com
