"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."

"You are correct that the security of $HOME is a neglected topic; sometimes attacks are launched to get the information in $HOME and not to try to "own" the box. This does go against the dogma that no one cares what happens to a users directory/information on a *NIX box."
Well said. The users directory is the most important part of the box, since that is where the data is. Unfortunately very few people seem to understand that. Owning the box is bad, but the loss of data is much worse. On the other hand, if someone owns the box they can compromise ALL of the home directories, instead of possibly just that of the 1 user that does something stupid.
