I'll do a couple of posts in this thread. The first would be a quick review of the OP highlighting the main issues I had reading it. The second will address @deanhills' questions and @LightDestory's answers to them. May be later on, I'll open a more comprehensive thread on Linux containers and where Docker containers rank among them.

I should have wrote 'where Docker containers FIT among them', which I've meant to say there.


I do have some extra-time during this month and I was thinking of starting a series of posts on Linux containers but I was hoping to first finish off my ongoing 'How to Host(/mirror) your Own online KVM VPS Locally' before jumping in yet another series.. The end goal -of both series- being to make even the newbies SEE how a container is different from a VM from bottom up (ie at the host's processes level.)

The KVM VM's thread was stalled at the I/O virtualization level because I still need some information to write it down properly.. But, anyway, it seems that it will remain that way for awhile... In the meantime, I'll be starting the Linux containers series in the coming days.. So, please, stay tuned...
