Linux goes for lightweight OS

"Linux heavies plan lightweight virtualization: Novell and Red Hat have concrete plans to build "container" virtualization into their Linux products." This is to allow one OS to be shared across multiple partitions so that only read/write data are made unique [these are called containers -- only one and the same OS runs inside each partition] rather than both OS and data per partition [which allows different OS per partition].

If you're confused than my apologies for not writing it up well. Comment or email and I'll try again, latter].
