I just wondered if there was an equivalent to Solaris Zones available for Linux. Not necessarily a full blown separate operating system like vmware, but more like chroot on steroids...
Xen allows one to create fully virtualized virtual machines via hardware virtualization and para-virtualized "Xen" machines.
In this regard it is probably more functional then Zones and if the PV machines are properly designed it should be more reliable.
I think Sun released a Xen PV enabled version of the Solaris kernel recently, so you could run Zones in a Solaris PV under Xen, if you were so inclined...
