NetBSD Isolation System Renamed from Jails to Cells
By
vermaden
A weekday bagel. Dependable, satisfying, no fuss.
Summary
The NetBSD project has renamed its isolation system from 'Jails for NetBSD' to 'Cells for NetBSD'. This change avoids confusion with FreeBSD Jails and better reflects the NetBSD-native architecture. The project has moved to a new URL, and the existing documentation now serves as a transition notice pointing users to the updated project location.
