Re: [OT] Switching kernels without reboot
Placing an extract of the freshmeat daily newsletter of 12 Sep 2k.
This may be the kind of stuff you guys are looking for. Never did
try it out myself, so no comments ...
If any of you guys give it a try .. do let me know. Perhaps others
in the list would also be interested as well. Sounds interesting !

User-Mode Linux lets you run Linux inside Linux. It 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. 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.
