I really do like this and I seen no reason why it can not be all linked together. Since I last heard about it, it appears that they have advanced somewhat. They are already integrating the VIMAGE code into their project, and they have extended the VIMAGE mechanism to suite their own purposes. It would be nice if they would show up in -virtualization sometimes so we could include them into our discussions. > >> I'm not sure if the VPS project pertains directly to what you're >> talking about, but perhaps some of the code or ideas from the project >> might? >> >> Even if it doesn't, it's still an exciting project that adds a ton of >> value to FreeBSD's light-weight virtualization strategy.
