  1. Why is this in the Linux section? by Stephen+Williams · · Score: 4, Informative

    The "zones" mentioned in the article are nothing to do with Linux, and everything to do with Solaris.

  2. Zone != chroot by Codename_V · · Score: 2, Informative

    Processes running in a zone are completely isolated from the rest of the system, not just the filesystem. So you can't monitor or interact with processes that aren't in your zone, even if you're root. So to say that a zone is just another name for a chroot environment is completely wrong.
