Here's me with egg on my face -- I've just ported the base package to
FreeBSD.

On the surface, it looks like jail(8) might just do what FreeVSD aims to
provide.  However, since jail(8) is only in 4.x, and lots of people
(including myself) are still running 3.x, FreeVSD may be a good solution for
those who aren't ready to upgrade to 4.x.

I think the answer to this will come soon - I haven't waded through the
patches that FreeVSD makes to killall, login, kill, chmod/chown/chgrp, inetd
and various kvm routines.  These patches will tell if FreeVSD is just
"jail(8)-for-Linux."
