This looks rather interesting, Jarry. Is it simply a matter of compiling the vserver-sources and util-vserver? Did it take much time to set up the kernel for your box? Or is it pretty much a typical kernel setup? Any good tools in the util-vserver package? > The only service running on my "host" (main system) is sshd, > which I secured as much as I could.
