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.  
<p>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.

Thanks to 
<ul>

<a href="http://www.ists.dartmouth.edu">Dartmouth
ISTS</a> and Bill Stearns for sponsoring the security work in UML

<a href="http://www.ridgerun.com">RidgeRun</a>
for sponsoring the floating point ptrace fixes
</li>
</ul>
If there's a UML feature that you need or a bug you want fixed now
rather than when I get around to it, and you'd be interested in
sponsoring the work, get in touch with me at jdike at karaya dot com.
