Mini-VM-VM
Is there anything NOT a full blown VM, but something equivalent to a "freebsd jail" but a bit more than a chroot for Ubuntu?
I'm looking at LXC right now, hopefully it's something that I can assign an "LAN IP" to, then reverse-proxy it from something running in another container.

How about Linux VServer?
LXC is in the mainstream kernel using cgroup. Looks cool when I looked at the tech detail on what it can do, but I have no idea why it's not popular. Maybe there's still stability issue?
On the other hand, why not just use OpenVZ? Well tested, many people are using it, etc.
I'm only looking at lxc because I don't need to recompile kernel for it, unless anyone can find a "guide" or something for ovz on ubuntu 11 that lets me do fake private lans easily..
No KVM on this box (only remote reboot) and I am not primarily a linux user
Okay I see. Interestingly Ubuntu dropped OpenVZ support although Debian has it in Squeeze. But that's Ubuntu who seems to be doing weird things these days (Unity, arghhhhhh!)
Unlickily, it it the only system that can power on my PC, so I have to learn to live with it.
I would run a live cd before Arghbuntu! :P
