How to Run Linux Inside Linux with User Mode Linux

Linked by Thom Holwerda on Fri 12th Jan 2007 00:36 UTC

"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."

Unlike most others (Virtual PC/Bochs/VMWare kind), it integrates much better with the host OS (similar to what coLinux has done for running linux inside windows).

i dont really understand what there is to be confused about. its really quite simple, and what each of these things does can be very easily found out, by reading for a few minutes on their websites.
