Hi everyone, First off I am new to FreeBSD. I use Linux professorially and really looking forward to getting some FreeBSD boxes in production as well. My apologies if my questions are noobish and I have tried Googling for some of them but with limited results so I figure I would ask for help

Use this as a starting point http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/jails.html Anyways, host and jail need to run the exact same kernel. Normally I'll build my kernel and install it into the base as well as each individual jail so everything is consistent. Why do they need to run the exact same
