[Users] deduplication

[suporte at logicworks.pt]

That's why I'm making this questions, to demystify some buzzwords around here. 
But if you have a strong and good technology why not create buzzwords to get into as many people as possible? without trapped them. 
Share a disk containing "static" data is a good idea, do you know from where I can start? 

Thanks 
Jose

If you would not use Linux (as they broke having /usr as separate 
filesystem) and you would design your unix-like VMs correctly, you can 
share a disk containing "static" data like /usr, /usr/local between 
VMs as a kind of "deduplication" without being "trapped" by buzzword 
technologies.
