    I am glad to see OSS influencing a commercial Unix implementation. As mentioned in the LISA ’04 paper, Solaris zones (containers) have roots in FreeBSD jail and Linux VServer. I am waiting for VServer to be included in Red Hat Enterprise Linux or SuSE Linux Enterprise Server.

    “I am waiting for VServer to be included in Red Hat Enterprise Linux or SuSE Linux Enterprise Server.”

    linux upstream kernel has already something similar http://kerneltrap.org/node?from=30

    which has been merged into 2.6.10 rc1. vserver is currently considered too intrusive. it will probably be incrementally merged. will take atleast 3 revisions or so
