Package: user-mode-linux (2.6.26-1um-2+16)

User-mode Linux (kernel)

User-mode Linux (UML) is a port of the Linux kernel to its own system call interface. It provides a kind of virtual machine, which runs Linux as a user process under another Linux kernel. This is useful for kernel development, sandboxes, jails, experimentation, and many other things.

This package contains the kernel itself, as an executable program, and the associated kernel modules.
