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.
