Call for developers
FreeVSD has been dormant for a long time, but recent upgrades like UML (user mode linux) have made resuming work on it more and more attractive. I cannot devote my full time to working on it, but would like to leave an open invitation for anyone wishing to pickup/rewrite the interface.
My initial thoughts is that it should be approached from a very restrictive standpoint until stable, then work on features that compliment its basic functionality.
Please email me or post a comment here.

FreeVSD Source Online
The FreeVSD source archives are now online. I updated one file I had missing, and downloaded an unofficial package of freevsd-1.4.10-1 from mirrors.paul.sladen.org.
Stop by if you need an old copy of the source - rpms, skels, and other miscellaneous files coming soon!
FreeVSD is a multiuser server jail, designed to separate users' services from the host system as well as other users' services. Idaya, the former developer of FreeVSD, is out of business and is no longer supporting or developing FreeVSD. Anyone interested in devloping or using FreeVSD please let me know.

FreeVSD migration to SF
Origionally I planned on only storing and distributing Debian packages for FreeVSD from this site, but now that Idaya is being liquidated, I am planning on moving CVS and ALL other publicly availiable files to the SF FTP/file release system.
If anyone would like to help with FTP/Web management, please let me know. Anyone with significant experience with FreeVSD please let me know - we can start building a good home for FreeVSD that will be around regardless of the freevsd.org domain name.
I plan on asking whomever I can about the FreeVSD domain/trademark, ask that it be donated to the FSF (and I'll donate to the FSF to keep the domain running if need be) or myself for the purposes of this project.
I have enabled mailing lists here on sourceforge, which I will in turn announce to the freevsd.org lists to attempt to save some of the user community and not abandon a great package at least a few people enjoy.
Thanks, and send in suggestions/any help you can,

Liquidation of Idaya
[editor: see sf.net/projects/freevsd for more information]
Hi all,
I just thought you'd like to be aware of the current situation regarding Idaya and the hosting of freevsd.org.
Idaya went into receivership as of the 20th of January 2003 as a result of lack of funding. I don't know how long the server's will be up for although I've been led to believe that it's paid for up until March, but who knows.
I am sorry that the development of the ProVSD project has come to an end as I enjoyed working with the people at Idaya who, imho, were a good bunch of people.
The last code I was working on was an integration of the vserver kernel and ProVSD. When all the sharks have had their way I hope they will release the code back to GPL although that is their decision. If I had my way I would make it available as there were many improvements since the freeVSD code was split that I feel would benefit all.
Best regards,
Graham Bevins (ex senior developer for Idaya).
