I've been using vserver for on various servers for at least 4 years
now. If you need to have Linux guests running on a Linux host, IMHO,
there is no better solution. Using something like Xen or VMware in
this situation is a waste of money and hardware resources.
Vserver is the perfect solution for our environment where I am working
at now. I have been here for a little over a year now and I am trying
to convince them to use VServer instead of wasting time and money on
VMware in our environment. My bosses love the idea of using VServer;
however, they are unable to use anything that isn't part of the
official Red Hat distribution. I've tried to convince them of the
advantages of using CentOS; however, they are dead set on only using
their officially supported OS, Red Hat.
I would assume there are likely many other companies that are in a
similar situation and unable to use CentOS so they can use VServer.
Is there any chance of ever getting VServer support in the official
Red Hat kernels? I know I should probably ask this in a Red Hat list,
but I figured if there was any discussion about it, someone on this
list would know.

Thanks
