freeVSD, the world’s only GPL virtual server solution for
Linux, is announcing the release of version 1.4.6 which now
provides full support for Red Hat 7.0, and includes the latest true
`thin client’ administration interface for virtual servers,
VSDClient.

“freeVSD (www.freevsd.org), an open source project sponsored by
Idaya Ltd, was released in its first version under GPL license in
Spring 2000. The software enables ISPs to securely partition their
physical servers into many `virtual servers’, each capable of
running popular hosting applications such as Apache, Sendmail and
MySQL.”

“Each virtual server has a corresponding `admin’ user with
pseudo-root privileges, therefore proper `root’ access is reserved
for the service provider – providing a secure and manageable
platform on which to host SME, corporate, reseller or developer
clients.”
