Comment 2 for bug 184764

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.
