This page has a nice overview of LXC and how to use it to isolate a
application:

http://lxc.sourceforge.net/lxc.html

If you go to the sourceforge page it'll tell you what part of the LXC
namespace isolate got into what part of the kernel and the LWN article
discussing it. :)

With Linux 2.6.29 LXC should be fully functional.

Besides the whole isolation aspect of it you can use it for freezing and
checkpointing applications.
