You have me on that one.
I guess you have to consider the source of the information.
ME: About 5 days of experience with Vserver
OTHERS: A whole lot more -!!!-
Could be the qemu is a less trouble free route to take.
Consider:
If you install a standard distribution, you will end up
editing the structure of its init sequence.
- - - vserver will start but you will see a lot of
- - - messages about things that init could not do.
- - - This is not fatal, or even harmful.
If you install a distribution already tailored for running
under a virtual server (anybodies) then the structure
of its init sequence has probably already been edited.
So using the qemu version of a distribution might be
what you should do - I can't say for sure, so just try it.
- - - -
I did learn one thing while looking at the Fedora
pages - they have instructions for using yum -
and linux-vserver has support for yum package
management. I can't say - have never done it.
