At a certain time, now past [Jul.05.2003-04:31:19PM -0300], [EMAIL PROTECTED] spake thusly:
I have been browsing for web hosting and I found some firms (one of them is <http://www.hub.org>) offering 'virtual server hosting using FreeBSD'. They say that virtual server is different from virtual host, for the first is a completely separated enviroment, like a standalone server. [...]
See jail(8).
Right, but jail(8) is just a start. For users with higher expectations (read: business customers) you would need a couple of extra features, like the ability to inject processes into already running jails, real (per jail) SysV shared memory support etc.
I think FreeBSD 5.x has at least the process injection feature now, but the downside is that you probably don't want to use 5.x for production so far, at least not with paying customers. On the other hand, if it's just for personal use, jail(8) and FreeBSD 5.x should be okay.
My two cents.
