I need to set up multiple development environments on my Macbook Pro
and don't want
to trash the default Mac OS X installs of apache etc...
A Jail would simplify things considerably.
I hope Mac OS X ports over FreeBSD Jails or Solaris Zones as soon as
possible! Its sorely needed.
Parallels or VMWare is over kill and resource intensive. Jails are
lightweight.
I really can't believe Jails aren't in Mac OS X. What a shock!
How about Xen? Maybe thats feasible if Jails are missing.

I haven't found any information on this.
Darwin doesn't include the jail() syscall, nor zones, but sandboxing
in 10.5+ may let you achieve the same thing (I haven't looked deeply
at it)—sandboxing seems to be mostly designed as a more advanced form
a chroot(), rather than a way to run a pseudo-virtualised environment
(possibly with its own IP or dedicated NIC assigned, along with other
selected physical resources).
