I am in a situation where I am looking to possibly use LXC as a way to run ONE specific program that needs an X desktop.
What I am comparing is LXC v. my normal method a VM. Why do I need to run one program... email. I only use KMail, but since changes to that program are not to my liking (outside the scope of this list), and I would like to upgrade my main box to the latest ESR release, 14.04. BUT I need my Kmail! (Thanks, but I am a Kmail only person, no other program meets my approval, thanks.) I would Xephyr to the LXC container The setup would be LXC from 14.04 LXC container with the last normal KMail, I think 11.04/11.10? with X, and then I just Xephyr into it, basically it creates a window that has my email running. I get to keep my setup, and emails, and none of the issues with the "improvements" of KMail2. So comments in re LXC v. VM to do just one program. _______________________________________________ lxc-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxcontainers.org/listinfo/lxc-users
