Linux-VServer is a virtualization technology for Linux.  Basically it allows you to run multiple virtual private servers which share the same kernel.  Because of this the platform is incredibly lightweight and does not have the resource overhead that other virtualization platforms have to deal with.  More information on Linux-VServer can be found here.  This can be used in combination with the Hyper-V Linux Kernel Image I released.  For that use case you must install the utils with apt-get install util-vserver.

BASIC COMMANDS

Display Status on All VServer Guests

# vserver-stat

Start a VServer

# vserver vservername start

Enter a VServer

# vserver vservername enter

Stop a VServer

# vserver vservername stop

Execute Commands Inside a VServer

# vserver vservername exec ..

Delete a VServer

# vserver vservername delete

I will additionally post some instructions on how to install different Linux distributions inside of VServers using the existing public software repositories on the Internet.
