We currently migrate to MediaWiki from our old installation, but not all content has been migrated yet. Take a look at the Wiki Team page for instructions how to help or browse through our new wiki at wiki.linux-vserver.org to find the information already migrated.

Linux VServer Project

What is this project ? Do you need it ? Here is a short presentation

Note: in response to public demand, we added a Hacker Page and we would kindly ask all that wannabe hackers use that page for the very challenging task of wiki hacking (TIA:). Why do we have an 'open' wiki with no auth then? Because the majority of people are adult enough not to deface common property (especially if it belongs to a cool free software project you might find useful yourself some day). Are you at least that smart?

This site contains information relating to the development of Linux kernel-based virtual servers running on a single piece of hardware. This particular virtual server model is implemented through a combination of "security contexts", segmented routing, chroot, extended quotas and some other standard tools.

As the project is undergoing a change of leadership and re-organisation there are still several other sites maintained by individuals. It is intended that in the future this site will become the central respository of information and coordination. To that end, all current developers and interested individuals are invited to contribute to these pages.

Note: If this isn't what you are looking for, maybe [Linux Virtual Server] is.
