> And what about if my Linux Distro doesn't use system-md, like Slackware.

It's a choice of Slackware not use systemd infra. However on Linuxes you have more that one choice to run containers, your next option would be LXC/LDX https://docs.slackware.com/howtos:misc:lxc



Sure and my choice not to use it too. Well aware of LXC too.

I'm not claiming Linux can't. I was stating why. I know Linux can do what FreeBSD can do, but BSD does it better.

However both are pretty much mimicked concept from Solaris Zones

Your timeline is off.

FreeBSD and Linux were within a year of each other (not in-tree on linux, but Debian packaged VServer kernels and VServer + GRSec kernels; we used vserver+grsec debian packaged kernels at work in the mid through late '00s).

Solaris containers came years later.

2000 - FreeBSD jails

2001 - Linux VServer

2004 - Solaris Containers
