Chroot Jails Made Easy

Posted by michael on from the let-my-people-go dept.

GonzoJohn writes "There are always difficult jobs to do as a GNU/Linux system administrator. Sometimes the difficulty lies in finding out how to do a particular job, not necessarily the job itself. This can be particularly true in the open source world where documentation can often take a back seat to implementation. But once in a while, you can stumble on a real gem that simplifies even the most difficult administration tasks. One such gem is the Jail Chroot Project. Linux Orbit introduces you to creating chroot-ed environments in this article."

    Much better and much more comprehensively. To tell you the truth, there is nothing original in Linux. That is to say, Linux is less original than most open source software. Not a troll, the truth.

  2. Linux not GNU/Linux by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    WTF is GNU/Linux. Just because Linux uses GNU utilities in his system doesn't give Dick Stallman the right to rename it. Last I heard Linux Torval owned the trademark to Linux, not Dick. Please blow off this wanker who wantes to subvert and control projects like XEmacs, and Linux.
