24 I don't quite follow. Will the
25 http://people.linux-vserver.org/~harry/patch-2.6.19.7-vs2.2.0-grsec2.1.10-20070402.diff vserver+grsec patch they provide on the vserver frontpage

28 I have not yet tried vserver. A user requested it and i have also been looking for a paravirtualization for grsec latetly. Seems like vserver is the only thing that works with grsec uless you have VT hardware or run full virtualization like vmware. (the user said it was even possible to run vserver inside vmware)
