May be. Solaris introduced Containers and Zones in Solaris 10 and over =
the life of Solaris 10 added new features. I suspect Linux Branded Zones =

development effort. All that was over 10 years ago now and the memory is =
not as clear as it was then.

Joyent also pays people to develop Illumos / SmartOS.=
