linux.conf.au 2010: Day 2 (afternoon)
,----[ Quote ]
| LXC uses existing Linux kernel facilities
| to group processes within containers into
| control groups, which can then be used to
| control access and scheduling of resources
| (network, CPU, storage, etc.). Each
| resource type has a namespace similar in
| principle to what chroot() provides for
| filesystems. Since all of the hardware is
| visible to a single kernel, there can be a
| great deal of flexibility in how resources
| are allocated. For example, a given network
| device and CPU can be dedicated to a
| container.

Auckland: where a FOSS school is a reality
,----[ Quote ]
| Mark Osborne is not a technical person. That's the first point he made
| when he stood up to deliver his presentation on The Open Source Secondary
| School at the 11th Australian national Linux conference this morning.
|
| He is an English teacher and the deputy principal of Albany Senior High School
| in Auckland which opened its doors in 2009. It has the proud distinction of
| being the first state-funded senior high school to exclusively use open
| source software for every need.
