developerWorks writes "Ever wish you had a place to let your Linux applications play -- where they wouldn't hurt anything else? Do your killer apps spend too much time killing each other? Originally conceived as a kernel developer's tool, UML lets you set up multiple virtual machines that are isolated from each other and from the hardware. Now, you can test applications all the way to failure without breaking the host system -- or even requiring a reboot. Veteran administrator Carla Schroder shows you how in this tutorial."

What would really be interesting is if non intel hardware could also be emulated. I sure wouldnt mind an Ultra5, RS/6000 and hammer systems networked together with ipv6 on token ring.. all on my BeOS desktop. BeOS is supported isnt it?
