NGNET is still being delayed for various reasons, one being the fact that there was a promise to sponsor it but the potential sponsors did not hold it (yet), another reason is the fact that mainline is working on something similar and we do not want to waste the scarce resources on a parallel development, finally it seems like we could do really well without the all-virtualized approach in 99% of all cases ... so stay tuned, maybe have a chat on the channel if you want to get more details ... best, Herbert > Have a nice weekend, > > Christian > > > _______________________________________________ > Vserver mailing list > [email protected] > http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver _______________________________________________ Vserver mailing list [email protected] http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver
