I'd like to see this implemented as well. As far as the technology
behind vserver, it is very similar to the one seen in Solaris Zones. A
similar concept some may be familiar with is that of FreeBSD Jails. But
contrary to jails, that are glorified chroot environments with some
security built in, Solaris Zones and vserver instances are truly
virtualized operating system instances that while isolated from the main
OS instance, can share and use the parent reousrces in a controlled way
without imposing the load of a full virtualization environment nor the
requirement of a CPU with builtin vistualization support. It makes
vserver an attractive proposition for older hardware such as that that
would be used for a server in your own home, many SMBs and in second-
and third- world countries. Combine vserver with apparmor and you have a
very intereing proposition for a secured virtualized server solutiuon.
Now, on implementation... Debian has already done most of the work and
it is available in Testing and Sid.
