I still see 'containers' as a blend between a chroot and a virtual machine.
As an admin, user willingness to download any old container they found on the tubes that has their solution stuffed into it is a terrifying idea.

Since I'm a SUSE guy, I would automatically say SUSE/openSUSE, but I'm sure you will get that answer from each person with their preferred distro(s).
"If I knew SuSE like you know SuSE..." Sorry, couldn't resist.
Remeber those Sun boxes? This will be going on them. We now have a
garage to deal with the sound issue. :)
After a couple decades I'm not sure the current distro vendors get it.
RH seems to be moving away from being on the hardware or a VM, and
wants to go theri own way like Solaris. If I'm going to go somewhere
might as well go all the way.

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you
gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his
own tail. It won't fatten the dog.
