No, the vservers all run the same kernel. It gives the advantage of
speed.

If you want to use different servers, you have to do either:
user-mode-linux, UML which runs a linux kernel ontop of another linux
kernel.
                        You can run more than one at the same time (i think).
borch a GPL'ed? x86 emulator.
vmware a commercial x86 emulator

Someone has mentioned some other virtual server stuff, i dont really
remember
the name, and i havent looked at them.

All are properly slower than vserver
