Hi there, I have been browsing for web hosting and I found some firms (one of them is <http://www.hub.org>) offering 'virtual server hosting using FreeBSD'. They say that virtual server is different from virtual host, for the first is a completely separated enviroment, like a standalone server. I am a newbie on FreeBSD, I search at the archive and Google for this info; and at this moment I am aware of VMWare's solution software, but I'd like to ask you guys if anyone knows any other virtualization software avaliable, preferably free for personal use. -- Feng Sian

Now, let's take the part II: reading man pages... -- Feng Sian

There is at least one outfit that actually tries to sell this kind of thing, shared hosting using jails, as a collocated UNIX server. ______________________________________________________________________ Darren Henderson darren@nighttide.net Help fight junk e-mail, visit http://www.cauce.org/

You can read man page on it, see man jail.
