+cat << EOF
+LXC is a userspace interface for the Linux kernel containment features.
+Through a powerful API and simple tools, it lets Linux users easily create
+and manage system or application containers.  Features
+
+Current LXC uses the following kernel features to contain processes:
+* Kernel namespaces (ipc, uts, mount, pid, network and user)
+* Apparmor and SELinux profiles
+* Seccomp policies
+* Chroots (using pivot_root)
+* Kernel capabilities
+* Control groups (cgroups)
+
+As such, LXC is often considered as something in the middle between a chroot
+on steroids and a full fledged virtual machine. The goal of LXC is to create
+an environment as close as possible as a standard Linux installation but
+without the need for a separate kernel.
