As well as OpenVZ, Linux VServer has been around since 2003, and is one of the groups participating in the containers merging effort. In Debian Etch, using Linux VServer is as simple as apt-get installing a new kernel - you can even run VServer and Xen on the one system if you so desire.

Yep.  I've used Linux-Vserver for many years now (in production environments), and it's
performed great.  It *is* a shame that nothing made it into the mainline kernel before recenet
times, but my impression was that neither of the major codebases (Vserver, OpenVZ) were
particularly merge-worthy..

I'd also like to second the recommendation for Debian/etch's Linux Vserver integration.  A few
minutes of download and a reboot and you're ready to go.
