being a debian developer (and maintainer of lxc in debian), i'm doing that in the form of a state-of-the-art debian derivative, see http://www.progress-linux.org/. in my total biased opinion, it is the best available debian based system for lxc host and container systems. the 1.0.x releases are squeeze plus required fixes for lxc (and a few other things that just are broken in debian stable). if you want newer stuff (like current lxc or kernels), you can go with 1.9.x (which is squeeze plus fixes plus backports of certain key packages). however, until the first 1.9.x release images are ready (needs some backports of debian-installer), you can't install it directly but have to install 1.0.x, enable backports, and run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade. the current so called 'server-lxc' images are ~250mb and are combined live and installer iso-hybrid images (can be written to optical media as well as dumped to usb sticks). -- Address: Daniel Baumann, Donnerbuehlweg 3, CH-3012 Bern Email: [email protected] Internet: http://people.progress-technologies.net/~daniel.baumann/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The demand for IT networking professionals continues to grow, and the demand for specialized networking skills is growing even more rapidly.
