Hello Simon,
The vskel is a very good tool, nice job. I have but one question
about creating the vservers, is there a way allocate disk, memory space for each vserver? I understand the ulimit to be the number of limited processes within the vserver. I ask this because, if your in webhosting customers would want to see some type of accounting for service level agreements, is this possible?
