Hmm..

i think you might be giving it to much credit :-)

The point of freeVSD is to abstract a 'single physical dedicated server'
into multiple 'virtual' servers.

This means that multiple users on this 'single physical dedicated
server' can be root. They are each able to control their own chroot'ed
environment and are able to bind to ports under 1024 on their own IP
address.

The only good analogy that comes to mind is a fancy sudo with a lot of
enhancements, but that doesn't do it justice.

It's pretty neat. We played around with it for a while before deciding
that we didn't need it. But some of our clients are using it and are
happy with it.
