Well I'm trying to avoid VMWare or Parallels they are resource intensive.
Jails are lightweight one kernel multiple virtual environments. You only need to duplicate the required directory structure versus the entire OS.

I need to setup 8 different environments on my laptop, Jails would do the trick with low overhead. VMWare etc... would be sluggish.
