Hi,

All I wish to run is a DNS bind server and an Apache J2EE application server.
What real benefits will a virtual machine have over a chroot environment.
I am on the side that says that chroot should be good enough.
chroot makes much more effective use of filespace between multiple
chroot environments.

Kind Regards

James
