Hello Everyone, I will follow up and add some more info. Alexey Lyashkov was hired by Positive Software in 2002 to add enhancements and speed up development of vserver project (it was vserver back then). Several more developers where added at later stages. I was mostly interested in creating vi

I personally use Gentoo for the vast majority of my work, so a redhat specific patchset isn't that useful to me. I noticed FreeVPS when I was looking around, but the fact that it's so distribution-specific caused me to pass it by without much more than a second glance. (Like most linux geeks, I'm e

I like option a; I think that using the LSM framework is the best way to go, and ensures that you have a whole lot less work in the future -> instead of patching in a vserver framework, instead you have a more established API that will be less of a moving target to develop against. It also makes it

Answers interleaved. 1) should the 2.4 branch be frozen, and if when? I think you can freeze this as soon as 2.6 becomes stable enough to rely on. Big security holes/crashes could be patched, but not new features. 2) is it bad if 2.4 and 2.6 branches diverge? I do not think so, see above

Hi Community! recently Enrico and I had a discussion (not the first) about the future of linux-vserver, and what path to choose for 2.6 ... the options seem to be: a) freeze the 2.4 vserver development at some point, only do some updating and maintenance, and continue with a SE-Linux
