[COLUG] VPS hosting

[Rick Troth]

Not sure exactly what to call it - maybe "virtual OS"?
Some people call it that.  It is not a virtual machine,
so all bets are off w/r/t Virtuozzo.  Other weird things happen
(from my perspective)  with the FreeBSD "jail" my VPS lives in
(not being all that intimate with FreeBSD or *any* BSD).
