Re: Virtualization preferences



 
Can I bring up avery basic question? Why is virtualization so much better 
than multi-tasking? I can run dhcpd and bind in one real machine, why 
would I want to run them in separate virtual machines? The reasons I can 
think of seem fairly weak or of limited applicability =- 

   1) virtual OS is a better jail than chroot 
   2) use different OS versions for different services 
   3) better regulation of CPU usage across applications 
   4) give each customer of a hosting service root 

Am I missing something important?
