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.
