If it's a private server for a small group, then it's likely that you
trust those people and won't need to worry too much about locking things
down...if you build a virtual machine (using, say, VirtualBox) you
should be fine, in case someone starts something that uses up all the
memory or disk space. It's even possible to script taking snapshots of
the VM, which means you can easily restore things if something goes
pear-shaped.
