Devzones, short for development zones, is a type of virtualization found in the Nexenta distribution. It can be used to define a base developer environment, which can be easily cloned many times. These copies can easily be destroyed and recreated.
Devzones are built upon Opensolaris Zones, which are extensions of a chroot-like environment for the entire installed system. In other words, it allows for virtualization of an Opensolaris environment (and variants of Linux), without the performance hit that is generally associated with virtualization.
This article gives a practical introduction into using Devzones.

Duke Nukem 3d was the last game with any story. That game really kicked arse... especially in co-op mode. I've tried playing the modern 3d equivalents, and they all suck. They're to busy trying to make the graphics look real instead of making a good game. Dukes graphics never looked real but it was funny as hell, I don't plan on playing any other game until Duke Nulem forever comes out.
