30 ##############################################################################
31 # LINUX SPECIFIC OPTIONS

33 # This is the subsystem type. Valid options on Linux:
34 # "" - nothing special
35 # "lxc" - Linux Containers
36 # "openvz" - Linux OpenVZ
37 # "prefix" - Prefix
38 # "uml" - Usermode Linux
39 # "vserver" - Linux vserver
40 # "xen0" - Xen0 Domain
41 # "xenU" - XenU Domain
42 # If this is commented out, automatic detection will be used.
