Book Summary: 

With User Mode Linux you can create virtual Linux machines within a Linux
computer and use them to safely test and debug applications, network
services, and even kernels. You can try out new distributions, experiment
with buggy software, and even test security. Now, for the first time, the
creator and maintainer of User Mode Linux, Jeff Dike, shows how to put it to
work hands-on. Jeff Dike covers everything from getting started through
running enterprise-class User Mode Linux servers. You'll find authoritative
advice on bootup, compilation, administration, specialized configurations,
and much more.

Coverage includes:

- What User Mode Linux is, how it works, and its uses in Linux networks;
-Key applications, including server consolidation, development, and disaster
recovery; -Booting and exploration: logins, consoles, swap space,
partitioned disks, and more; -Copy-On-Write (COW): UML's efficient approach
to storing filesystem changes; -In-depth discussion of User Mode Linux
networking and security; -Centrally managing User Mode Linux instances, and
