Linux Containers provide lightweight virtualization that lets you isolate processes and resources without the need to provide instruction interpretation mechanisms and other complexities of full virtualization. In this step-by-step tour of Linux container tools (LXC), the author introduces you to the Linux container tools and shows how to get up and running on them. This article will show you how Linux containers significantly lower the overhead of using true virtualization, while still providing isolation.

How does this compare to Linux-VServer? And to Virtuozzo, by extension. They seem to be the same, the ability to run multiple userlands on a single kernel. Similar to FreeBSD jails or Solaris zones.
So, is this new method better, worse, the same, or just different from Linux-VServer?
