My best advice would be to change providers. Seriously :) For example, servercraft rents atoms with 4GB RAM, running Ubuntu, complete with remote access via IPMI, under $50. > I have had great experience with LXC on Ubuntu.

Doing "yum install lxc" returns "No package lxc available". lxc is kinda new. It often requires kernel features not present on the archaic redhat/centos kernel. You COULD force it to work by (e.g.) installing kernel-uek2 or kernel-ml (Google for details), and install lxc userland manually. But there might be known bugs creeping. And when that happens, Ubuntu is the only distro I know that provides fixes in ready-to-use packages in a timely-acceptable manner. -- Fajar ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LogMeIn Rescue: Anywhere, Anytime Remote support for IT.
