I'm glad to see XFS got some love. Also PTP is nice feature.
PTP testing so far is looking quite good!

#53How long were the beta periods for RHEL 4, 5, 6? I know there's no commitment, but I'd like to tighten my vague idea of how long the beta period will be. Right now, I guess more than a day and less than a year.

#54Wow, XFS by default, is there any other distro that uses it by default? Makes me miss my old SGI machines...
I was struck by that too, and came here to make the same comment.
Why do you suppose they went with XFS? Ext4 seems like the defacto file system these days, but I know a lot of people seem to prefer XFS for one reason or another. It's a surprise to me that RHEL decided to default too it.
Anybody care to shed some light?

Hopefully we will see some type of GUI to create containers and manage cgroups.
The GUI for libvirt is called virt-manager: http://virt-manager.org/

seriously recommend people who care their data on disk to use ext4. http://lwn.net/Articles/476263/ XFS behaves not so well on power failure case.

#57Can anyone explain a bit more about what happened to Red Hat? I'm about behind the history of this Distribution. Last time I read about it I found out that is paid and I never considered it, because of that. I'm using Slackware for most of my servers, but I don't know what is the target market or what is more special in Red Hat Enterprise.
> what is more special in Red Hat Enterprise.
In essence, you pay for their excellent support.

If you really need that much support tooling around lxc, why not go with OpenShift?

#60Earlier quoted context omitted.
Sounds a lot like Solaris containers of a decade ago.
Yeah, I have been doing some research for an upcoming screencast, and this type of idea is called Operating system-level virtualization [1], and there is a fairly good table with the various OS's and their take on OS-level virtualization. E.g. Solaris Containers, FreeBSD Jail, OpenVZ, HP-UX Containers, etc. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating_system-level_virtuali...
Here's a background piece on containers that I wrote a few months back: http://bitmason.blogspot.com/2013/09/what-are-containers-any...
