Hello Greg,

If anyone has a legal way for me to have a look at them, without the need
for me to sign an NDA, I'd be happy to do a more recent write-up comparing
the various technologies and approaches, I started but didn't finish this:

Virtuozzo (based on the two-year-old kernel source code I've seen) is *very*
like `vserver'. The code that I have is here:

Ensim is similar to FreeVSD in that [I believe] it is a pure-userspace
solution and as you describe it is ``very like a chroot''.

Definately not, it has the same advantages that vserver has--which is the
security and separation without the overhead. Neither is Virtuozzo like
UML (multiple kernels).
H-Sphere can now use `vserver' underneath after the work IIRC Alex was paid
to do in adding the features they specifically wanted.
What Virtuozzo/Ensim/H-Sphere/Whatever *do* have going for them are the
management tools built on top. Things like replication are wrapped up in
a nice clickable HTML button and a end-user `lickable' GUI/Web front-end.
The same reason people buy Cobalt Raqs;
the *interface* is what they are paying for.
Hope that helps, E&OE, corrections welcomed,
