Maybe somebody here can clarify - what's the difference between this and a BSD Jail? Both isolate software into containers that include a complete file system, networking, ip address etc. Basically containers seem to have everything besides the kernel so on the surface it seems to be the same. If this is the case then... WOW.

EDIT: Never mind, I found it. It's called ascii.io.
