There is a significant amount of hype around docker, but it's not *all* hype. It's definitely worth a look. I recall Hubert Chathi posted here about a tool he wrote around Docker back in late March - in <87lhiduele....@desiato.home.uhoreg.ca>. I have a half-finished reply to him that I'll dig out and send now. Docker does a lot of heavy lifting around preserving images, having a tree of related images, etc. which are very useful for COW related stuff. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
