Hi all
Just on a fresh CentOS 6.2 minimal install, it doesnt find lxc: [mihamina@dev-spare ~]$ sudo yum install lxc [...] No package lxc available. Error: Nothing to do [mihamina@dev-spare ~]$ yum provides lxc-create [...] No Matches found
Well, I think this is not really a problem: there probably is a personal packager that made his own lxc package and some people in here trust :-)
Which one would you recommend? - http://goo.gl/8UXGh: MMmmm not rpm, just binaries... - ... what else?

I have a lxc stack that works for me, but till such time as I can test it a bit more am hesitant to make it public. If you are happy to help test the packages, do get in touch.
Rumour is still strong that RH will drop in a lxc in-distro soon ( but then the same was being said pre6.1 and then again pre 6.2 )

According to the RHEL 6.2 Technical Notes at http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html-single/6.2_Technical_Notes/index.html#kernel_issues
Linux (NameSpace) Container [LXC] Linux containers provide a flexible approach to application runtime containment on bare-metal systems without the need to fully virtualize the workload. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.2 provides application level containers to separate and control the application resource usage policies via cgroup and namespaces. This release introduces basic management of container life-cycle by allowing creation, editing and deletion of containers via the libvirt API and the virt-manager GUI. Linux Containers are a Technology Preview.

ah, interesting. I saw that + didnt see userland lxc tools and stopped looking. On 6.2 virt --connect lxc:// works, so time to prod a bit and see what falls out.
will post findings and maybe a walkthrough
