Firstly, I know *nothing* about jails, & only what I have read about 
docker online @ the above link. With that, docker seems to be more 
portable, i.e. I can develop packages under docker on my box & run them 
under/on docker on other boxen relatively willy-nilly, so implyeth the 
above website. I do have some KVM VM's running under FC14 (I know, way 
out of date), & am able to run executables compiled therein under other 
similar (Linux, just different versions) boxen on my LAN, *relatively* 
reliably. Docker seems to promise more flexibility on that front ....
