Using FAI to set up VServers

VServer is a single-kernel virtualisation system for Linux, the home page for which is at http://www.linux-vserver.org/

So far this documentation covers two aspects of using FAI and VServers together.

The first application of FAI to vserver is to install a VServer host that contains many VServer children. This technique is primarily useful when you are deploying systems that use VServer for extra security between services running on that host or other administrative convenience. A quick HOW-TO is at User:BrianShowalter/Using FAI to install Linux-vservers

The second is that you already have a VServer host, but you want to set up a vserver or set of vservers using FAI. This approach can also be used to prototype the later stages of FAI without real extra machines - and it's also a lot faster than using a "heavy" virtual machine like VMWare or Xen. This is covered at Using FAI as a vserver build method
