What are these buying the OP over chroot for what he wants to do?

Hi,
I would like to implement some sort of "virtual servers"
(mail, www, ftp) on my small gentoo server as a way of
increasing security...
Now the only problem is (so typical for linux :-)
which solution to use, because there are many:
Vserver? OpenVZ? Xen? Maybe VMware?
Or something else, supported by Gentoo?
I do not know them and I do not have time to test them
all, so I would be thankful for any opinion, experiences,
comparison, etc...

In order of preference for your purpose:
Openvz, the most lighthweight virtualization.
One kernel for all systems.
Virtualization starts with the init process
Xen, real separate kernels.
Other major Linux distro's possible.
Only if you want to upgrade a system but need
to keep the services available.
Vmware, the real stuff. Not needed for your purpose.
All free and supported by Gentoo.
Hans.
