Initial hacker documentation This was such a good resource in Docker that it would be a shame to lose it. Unfortunately, we can't just link to the corresponding information in the Docker project as a number of aspects are bound to be different here.

Our goal is to make libcontainer run everywhere, but currently libcontainer requires Linux version 3.8 or higher. If you’re deploying new machines for the purpose of running libcontainer, this is a fairly easy requirement to meet. However, if you’re adding libcontainer to an existing deployment, you may not have the flexibility to update and patch the kernel.

## Cross-architecture support
Our goal is to make libcontainer run everywhere. However currently libcontainer only runs on x86_64 systems. We plan on expanding architecture support, so that libcontainer containers can be created and used on more architectures.
