                     Introduction to Linux Containers (LXC)

                                      by

                                 Brian Martin

Brian has been using native Linux Containers (aka LXC) to solve
a need for increased security and isolation while avoiding the
overhead of virtualization.  In this talk Brian will discuss:

* Where containers surpass virtualization
* What containers cannot do
* Why he selected LXC instead of OpenVZ or similar products
* Network configuration choices
* Setting up a Linux container
* A demonstration

After the main meeting a subcommittee will convene to study the
best application of containers (holding beer) at the Lucky Lab.
