3 Is anyone using UML instead of virutal hosting? That's really what my
4 interest is. Seems a bit of a waste of hd space to duplicate all the
5 apps and os for each domain on the server but, considering that each
6 domain is pretty much completely isolated from each other (and can have
7 root access... without breaking more than their own install), it may
8 well be worth the space. I'm wondering though, if there are gotchas that
9 haven't occurred to me yet...
