Its not like the two things are even targeted at the same use case. Libvirt LXC is designed to make containers appearvlike VMs and is pretty heavyweight to set up. I always preferred using raw kvm or LXC to wrapping it in libvirt which just gets in the way.
Docker is largely for running single applications with lightweight easy to use setup so you can run it constantly.

- justincormack 11y agoYes, but it makes containers pretty heavyweight. XML config files and so on.
