Yup. I started selling FreeBSD jails, and they work really well if everyone cooperates, but one box can thrash everyone's cache. It was a lot of sysadmin work to make service semi-reasonable when you have untrusted users. (and you'd have to keep kicking people off who try to do 'big' things on a system sized for 'small' things) It is a happy medium, often, when you control everything, but there is a tradeoff. > > How come anyone still listens to sales?
