Thank you for your explanation. It is most helpful. To summarise what I<br>
think is correct: One can run multiple LXC containers, each containing<br>
an identical version of the main host operating system but processes are<br>
separate from the others. KVM creates a type of 'container' allowing<br>
different host operating systems to run in that container.<br>
<br>
Can one run inside a LXC container a KVM ?<br>
<br>
Can one run inside a KVM some LXC containers ?<br>
<br>
Or is the simultaneous usage on the same machine of LXC and KVM mutually<br>
exclusive or incompatible ?<br>
<br>
