  Yeah, I have been doing some research for an upcoming screencast, and this type of idea is called Operating system-level virtualization [1], and there is a fairly good table with the various OS's and their take on OS-level virtualization.

Solaris Containers, FreeBSD Jail, OpenVZ, HP-UX Containers, etc. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating_system-level_virtualization http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating_system-level_virtuali...

      Thanks. FYI, I just posted this to HN [1]. Seeing as you put in all this effort, you should have people reading it, outside this thread. Looks like you made the front page too! [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6889679 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6889679

        Thanks! I was wondering where my piece popped up from :-)

  Yep. Or BSD jails before that.
