 ! Introduction 

-Perhaps you want to test the latest bleeding-edge release of the [Apache] webserver.  Or maybe you would like to let some friends host a website on your production system without letting them near your pristine configuration.  Maybe you are paranoid and like to keep each application seperate from each other to minimise potential security problems.  Whatever your intentions for setting up a ''chroot jail'', the last thing you need is to spend hours configuring each jailed environment.  Enter [Debian] installed in a chroot jail - all the power and ease of [Debian] in the secure jail you demand!
