I personally use lxc from ppa:ubuntu-lxc/daily on my server. I use it for several containers and it's been I think two years since I had a problem due to running daily; but none of mine are "production". _______________________________________________ lxc-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxcontainers.org/listinfo/lxc-users
