Getting started with freeVSD (IBM DeveloperWorks)
IBM DeveloperWorks has an
article on beefing up your development environment with freeVSD.
"
If you're working in a Linux environment, however, there's a way to set up a machine so that several developers can have administrative access without interfering with the environment that the other developers work in. It's called freeVSD (Virtual Server Daemon), and it allows one Linux server to have several "virtual" servers. Using freeVSD allows a company to stretch their resources a little farther and still allow each developer or group of developers to have their own environment. While freeVSD was developed primarily with hosting companies in mind, you'll find that it can also be a boon to your production environment."
