"User Mode Linux allows you to run Linux kernels as user mode processes under a host Linux kernel, giving you a simple way to run several independent virtual machines on a single piece of physical hardware. Let's take a look at UML and how it can give you more bang for the hardware buck, or make it easier to debug the kernel."

I am no expert in virtualization and emulation, so I'd like to ask something:
Can this be used to insulate a potentially dangerous application like a web browser or any other network based application in a diferent virtual machine, and then run them side by side, the host holding the local documents and projects and most work the user has, with the emulated virtual system executing everything web-related (browsers, im and all that stuff) ?
I don't know if it would be feasible, since it would probably waste a lot of disk space and memory running things like this but... is it possible ?
