Engine Y. uses virtualization technology to give you full root access to your virtual site. You can run background processes and things like BackgroundRB no problem. They do suggest that you not go too wild with it as you will only hurt yourself, but it can be done. I have yet to do this, but should be doing so soon. Michael ---
