What are Vservers
The [http://linux-vserver.org Linux VServer Project] provides Linux kernel-based virtual servers running on a single piece of hardware.
Vservers are very useful for quickly setting up a set of restricted services for testing or production use.
Vservers are not as popular as the similar [http://www.xen-source.com XEN] Hypervisor, but help you a lot, if you have to administrate a large number of servers and services.
While it will take some until XEN ist integrated into Ubuntu Vserver are availabe now.
Installation
Installation is quite simple - you need:
- Kernel with Vserver patch
- util-verver
- vserver-debiantools
