I propose to rename the page to "Containers" or "Containers technology" or "Containerization" or something similar. The thing is, "Operating system-level virtualization" is quite long, complex and not definitive. Containers, on the other hand, is intuitively understandable. --[[User:K001|K001]] ([[User talk:K001|talk]]) 22:27, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
