Good to know, as I've been working my way through a stack of patches and
vserver is in the pile.

Xen 2.0 certainly looks interesting, and it is hard to quarrel with the
performance figures.  There is the little issue of device drivers ...

I guess that leaves private namespaces/chroot plus SELinux for isolation
on a single kernel instance, along with cowlinks or something similar for
sharing.
