The util-vserver project provides the user-space tools for creating and managing the virtualization technology known as Linux-Vserver guests.

Linux-Vserver guests can be used to securely partition resources such as processes, memory, network; logically separate services or run entirely different distributions all on a single system. Virtual private servers are separated from each other through security contexts, and as a result are completely unaware of each other, or of the host itself.
