Exactly!
Thanks Ted...I've been reading about containers so long now my eyes are
getting crossed. It looks GREAT for a Linux solution, something like
Apache or a LAMP solution.
Once again, this is making me feel old. :(

My question is whether containers can be of use for my situation.
Short form: I don't think so. :Containers like Docker are the latest
repackaging of chroot folders -- essentially, you run the same kernel and
OS utilities, but are isolated from changing the outer software. Ideal if
you're running a lot of Linux apps with finicky and different runtimes --
install each in their own container. But if you're running a completely
different OS inside the VM, well, you need a VM for that.
But I could be wrong, I've just started researching this stuff myself.
