This is technically not Debian *Linux* at all -- it's a Debian project to merge a BSD kernel with all the GNU shlibs and the various other utilities used on Debian systems. See http://www.debian.org/ports/kfreebsd-gnu/ and http://wiki.debian.org/Debian_GNU/kFreeBSD jail(8) uses the same kernel image in the jail as in the base system. So, in general, jails have to contain pretty much the same OS as the base. There are some variations possible, like running a 32-bit world in a jail on a 64-bit box, or running alternate FreeBSD versions to the main system (takes a bit of tweaking to make work properly, but this is used by the ports build cluster for example).

Re : Possible to run Linux distro in a jail?
I have this link to a French Blog : http://blog.etoilebsd.net/post/Emprisonner_une_debian_dans_un_FreeBSD This describe how to "jail" a Linux Debian in FreeBSD. I hope this will help you. I haven't used it. Thanks to its author : Baptiste Daroussin. I translated it in English : <<<<<<<<< # mkdir /home/jails/debian # mkdir /home/jails/debian/dev # mkdir /home/jails/debian/proc # mkdir /home/jails/debian/sys # kldload linux # kldload linprocfs # kldload linsysfs # kldload lindev # mount -t devfs none /home/jails/debian/dev # mount -t linprocfs none /home/jails/debian/proc # mount -t linsysfs none /home/jails/debian/sys We are using /home/jails/debian for the root of the Linux Debian. We will load all the necessary devices (nota : lindev appeared in Freebsd 9-CURRENT and has MFCed in 8-STABLE, it is not obligatory). We could do the install with debootstrap, but I prefered to use an openvz template : # fetch http://download.openvz.org/template/precreated/debian-5.0-x86.tar.gz And I unpack it in my jail : # tar xvfp debian-5.0-x86.tar.gz -C debian --exclude dev* --exclude proc* --exclude sys* To correctly start my jail, at least 1 service must be started in the jail (I failed to build a persistent linux jail only). By default the startup script of jails try to launch /etc/rc that we will create and launch /etc/rc.shutdown to stop it. # echo "/etc/init.d/cron start" > /home/jails/debian/etc/rc # chmod 755 /home/jails/debian/etc/rc # echo "/etc/init.d/cron stop" > /home/jails/debian/etc/rc.shutdown # chmod 755 /home/jails/debian/etc/rc.shutdown In /etc/rc.conf we configure the startup of the jail : jail_debian_rootdir=/home/jails/debian jail_debian_hostname="debian" jail_debian_ip="192.168.1.3" jail_debian_interface="nfe0" jail_debian_devfs_enable="YES" jail_debian_devfs_ruleset="devfsrules_jail" jail_debian_flags="-n debian" We start the jail : # /etc/rc.d/jail start debian And voilà : #jls JID IP Address Hostname Path 15 192.168.1.3 debian/home/jails/debian #jexec debian uname -a Linux debian 2.6.16 FreeBSD 8.0-STABLE #3: Sun Jan 10 20:39:38 CET 2010 i686 GNU/Linux #jexec debian cat /etc/debian_version 5.0.4 Here a beautiful Debian Linux jailed in FreeBSD But be careful, not everything works perfectly : sysklogd don't run cause to /dev access.

Possible to run Linux distro in a jail?
When I googled "linux in a jail" I got some references but no particular howto. Since currently VirtualBox is broken (hangs OS after a while), is it really possible to install Linux into a jail as a virtual machine?
