May I recommend trying to get vserver kernel patch working on the AMD64 
kernel, that way you can securely give root access to other developers, 
and each would have their own independent chroot where they can use yum 
to add/remove packages... a very necessary part in the process of 
developing packages.  Apache can be running in another vserver instance 
locally to act as a local yum source.

Give the developer vservers a different IP address and use iptables to 
lockdown network access, so nothing can get out except packets belonging 
to their incoming SSH connection.  (Prevent any chance of abuse.)
