     1.4 +LXC is a userspace interface for the Linux kernel containment features.
     1.5 +Through a powerful API and simple tools, it lets Linux users easily
     1.6 +create and manage system or application containers.
     1.7 +
     1.8 +Current LXC uses the following kernel features to contain processes:
     1.9 +
    1.10 +- Kernel namespaces (ipc, uts, mount, pid, network and user)
    1.11 +- Apparmor and SELinux profiles
    1.12 +- Seccomp policies
    1.13 +- Chroots (using pivot_root)
    1.14 +- Kernel capabilities
    1.15 +- CGroups (control groups)
    1.16 +
    1.17 +LXC containers are often considered as something in the middle between a
    1.18 +chroot and a full fledged virtual machine.
    1.19 +The goal of LXC is to create an environment as close as possible to a
    1.20 +standard Linux installation but without the need for a separate kernel.
