we use), allowing you to run/test multiple distros at once. If you
want to try debian (or pretty much any linux distro), download a
container skeleton for it and install in a few seconds. I've used
virtualbox/kvm, but I found containers in openvz to be much easier to
work with. A 'machine' is simply a folder on the host server. You
can zip it up, move between machines, rsync it. Whatever. It's like
virtualenv for distros.
To be able to rsync/clone an entire container to create a second
instance for upgrade or other testing is a wonderful thing. Since we
also use in production, it's a simple remote rsync to have a fully
working clone of our live servers for troubleshooting too. I can't
imagine going back at this point, and even run it on single purpose
machines in production for the flexibilty.
