User-Mode Linux: A Book Excerpt (Linux Journal)

[Posted December 7, 2005 by corbet]

The Linux Journal has reprinted an introductory chapter on user-mode Linux from Steve Best's book Linux Debugging and Performance Tuning. "Each UML instance is a complete virtual machine that's all but indistinguishable from a real computer. All of them run as a normal user on the host. They give you root-level access, the ability to start daemons, the ability to run text and graphical applications, full networking, and almost all of the other capabilities of a Linux system."
