Docker and its underlying Linux Containers (LXC)

Docker uses the same techniques as LXC (cgroups and namespace support), but docker v0.9 is not based on lxc anymore, so "underlying" is wrong. I think the following would probably be more correct: "... using Docker and its operating-system-level virtualization technology based on Linux cgroups and namespace support for running multiple isolated Linux systems (containers) ..."

But, I'm not a native english speaker so I don't want to change it by my own. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.24.108.17 (talk) 09:02, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! That's a very good point, thank you! This edit improves the explanation of how CoreOS relates to Docker; it might have gone a bit deeper into how Docker works internally and accesses the Linux kernel's virtualization features, but that would've just blurred the whole description so it's better to leave it to the Docker (software) article, which I've also clarified at the same time. — Dsimic (talk | contribs) 12:34, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
