yes, i'm using similar solution
i'm using kernel 2.4.31+vserver1.2.10 on many machines ... so i
switched to 2.6.x a few weeks ago on two production machines ...
but 2.6 kernel and still many changes on vanilla isn't good for me ...
so i decided to use some 'distribution' kernel ...
and Ubuntu Dapper will be supported for 5 years !!!

i'm just testing 2.6.15-19.27 from ubuntu.uni-klu.ac.at ...
look at my mini howto in my previous mail ... sources from ubuntu, but
recompiled on sarge ...
vanilla 2.6.15.6 + vserver working fine too, but i want kernel with no
big changes ... and dapper will be official at 2006-06-01 ...
i welcome some cooperation from experienced users with supporting
ubuntu dapper kernel with stable vserver 2.0.x patch ... no new
features, just updated patch every time dapper kernel changes - like
vserver 1.2.10 and vanilla kernel 2.4
so who can support dapper vserver kernel?
