well, get redhat installed. Then get the vserver kernel. Either by
compiling yourself, or by installing
ftp://ftp.solucorp.qc.ca/pub/vserver/kernel-2.4.21ctx-17.tar.gz
then install these packages
ftp://ftp.solucorp.qc.ca/pub/vserver/vserver-0.22-1.i386.rpm
ftp://ftp.solucorp.qc.ca/pub/vserver/vserver-admin-0.22-1.i386.rpm
the last one contains a newserver command that will create a copy of
your "root" server, så dont install too much stuff there.
Or if you want to play with debian, either get the images suggested in
this thread, or use
http://www.paul.sladen.org/vserver/debian/README.txt
