Hi All

I also stopped using vservers some time ago, after starting to use it 
during 2003 (I think it was then)

I used to build a debian voyage image with the vserver patches and tools 
(using a IDE Flash device usinga Read only disk) and install this on a 
machine which would mount a set of disks in a software raid.

I used this for small to medium ISP's in Australia for around 10 years.

So I want to thank the developers of the patch's for the kernel and the 
user land tools because this allowed these ISP's to compete with the big 
guys.

Thanks

Mike

          It seems now established that Bertl do not have enough time

        battle :)<br>

          The 4.9 kernel is not maintened so we have to move on. This
        was a great adventure and a great pleasure to use vserver all
        this time and have wonderfull  exchange with the vserver team
        and people here on the list.<br>
        <br>
          On our side we will rollout vserver for migration to lxd, it
        is a lot heavier than vserver but this is the only route we see
        now.<br>
        <br>
          Thanks again for all your work and help all those years and i
        hope 2024 will be a good year for you all !<br>
