<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">VLC media player (commonly known as VLC) is a portable, free and open-source, cross-platform media player and streaming media server written by the VideoLAN project.

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The default distribution of VLC includes a large number of free decoding and encoding libraries, avoiding the need for finding/calibrating proprietary plugins. The libavcodec library from the FFmpeg project provides many of VLC's codecs, but the player mainly uses its own muxers, and demuxers. It also has its own protocol implementations. It also gained distinction as the first player to support playback of encrypted DVDs on Linux and OS X by using the libdvdcss DVD decryption library</span></div>

LXC stands for Linux Containers.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
Linux containers are light-weight “<b><a href="http://www.hackthesec.co.in/search/label/virtualization" target="_blank">virtualization</a></b>” methods that runs multiple virtual units simultaneously on a single control host on a single Linux kernel.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The Linux kernel contains cgroups for resource isolation (CPU, memory, block I/O, network, etc, ), which does not require starting any virtual machines.<br />
<span id="more-16727" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;"></span><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;" />
Cgroups also provides namespace isolation to completely isolate application view of the operating environment, including process trees, networks, userids and mounted filesystems.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
LXC is open source software and licensed under GNU LGPLv2.1+ license.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
Containers actually make use of kernel features called namespaces, cgroups, and chroots, to carve off a contained area.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
So, the end result of LXC looks much like a virtual machine, but without any hypervisor.</div>

Before you install LXC, make sure your system is up-to-date using yum update as shown below.</div>

LXC is dependent on two libraries; libpcap and libcgroup. This also requires busybox and bridge utilities.</div>

Execute lxc-info to verify that the LXC is installed successfully. If everything is installed properly, we’ll see a message saying that the give container name (for example, test) doesn’t exist. We have not created any container at this stage. We just want to make sure this command is not throwing any shared library related errors.</div>
