There is another possibility.  OSv (http://osv.io/) seems to have
similar design goals but tries to break compatibility with existing
Linux APIs less.  I keep meaning to play around with it a little but
have run into problems provisioning it (vis a vis, existing Chef
cookbooks for Apache v2.4.x are broken) for testing.  Does anyone else
have experience with it?
