What does reliability means?

[Beroo]

Hi every body
If you dont mind I need somebody to explain for me what does reliability means as a feature of Linux VServer, when we could say that this system is reliable?

another question is:
how is Fedora Linux VServer simplify administration and systems managment?

Please I dont have full idea about those two points, I need somebody to help by giving clear explanation

Thank You in advance

The question is pretty vague, and also sounds suspiciously like a homework question, which is probably why you're not getting answers.

Vserver is not Fedora's--there is a Linux VServer, which is frequently used with RedHat based distributions--you can look at the article on the CentOS wiki, though I think that's dated by now.

http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Virtualization/Vserver

To answer the question, it would be debatable whether it simplifies it--you'd be better off writing the developers for their spin on it, assuming that's the answer you definitely want--it means using a special (unsupported) kernel. This is assuming you are talking about the Vserver to which I linked before. If you're talking about Fedora's preferred virtualization method, KVM, it's a different thing.

Please don't take this wrong, but you might want to look at

http://catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

which has a lot of useful advice about framing questions.

If nobody's using it in FedoraForum.org or has the answers to your questions, why not use these resources to ask the people involved in the V-Server Project: http://linux-vserver.org/Communicate

As far as Fedora is concerned, remember that there's frequent kernel changes and EOL of a version is only 18 months. For server work, something like Red Hat or CentOS is generally a better choice. Also, we're considered a 'test-bed' for Red Hat in many respects, so breakage is more likely in Fedora. Just something else to consider.

Ah, I should have put a disclaimer, that CentOS article was mine. I haven't used it in awhile, these days, I use jailkit to do something similar, which doesn't require a special kernel.

I would also point out that VServer is really more aimed at Debian and Debian offshoot users, whereas VZ server is aimed more at RH and RH offshoots. (However, both can be used on either RH or Debian based systems--just that VZserver is aimed more towards RH while VServer aimed more at Debian.
