Right, but jail(8) is just a start. For users with higher expectations (read: business customers) you would need a couple of extra features, like the ability to inject processes into already running jails, real (per jail) SysV shared memory support etc. I think FreeBSD 5.x has at least the process injection feature now, but the downside is that you probably don't want to use 5.x for production so far, at least not with paying customers. On the other hand, if it's just for personal use, jail(8) and FreeBSD 5.x should be okay. My two cents.
