What is User Mode Linux?
User-Mode Linux is a safe, secure way of running Linux versions and Linux processes. Run buggy software, experiment with new Linux kernels or distributions, and poke around in the internals of Linux, all without risking your main Linux setup.
User-Mode Linux gives you a virtual machine that may have more hardware and software virtual resources than your actual, physical computer. Disk storage for the virtual machine is entirely contained inside a single file on your physical machine. You can assign your virtual machine only the hardware access you want it to have. With properly limited access, nothing you do on the virtual machine can change or damage your real computer, or its software.
Why Would I Want User Mode Linux?
1. If UML crashes, your host kernel is still fine.
2. You can run a usermode kernel as a non-root user.
3. You can debug the UML like any normal process.
4. You can run gprof (profiling) and gcov (coverage testing).
5. You can play with your kernel without breaking things.
6. You can use it as a sandbox for testing new apps.
7. You can try new development kernels safely.
8. You can run different distributions simultaneously.
9. It's extremely fun.
