At least from what I have looked at with Solaris zones, it goes way beyond this chroot/jail stuff which always seems pretty admin heavy for the limited security advantage it offers. I haven't yet played with any other virt tech like on Linux, but it was clear as soon as I saw what you could do with zones, that chrooting is going to be obsolete pretty soon if not already. You have total control of system resources and a real "jail" that as far as I know hasn't been traversed. Sorry, I know this is a bit of a Solaris ad, but it is really exciting to me, esp that it is built in and so easy to work with.
