     Root access for all: Virtualisation tricks with User-Mode Linux
     Matthew Bloch, Bytemark Hosting

Linux has been ported to many different machine architectures, but a
true milestone was passed with its first port "to itself", that's Linux
running on another Linux.  User-Mode Linux is the first free port of the
kernel which allows many different kernels to run quickly and simply on
commodity server hardware, and is the technology that Matthew and Peter
from Bytemark built their hosting business around.  Matthew will explain
how to compile, manage and network User-Mode Linux kernels.  He will
talk through some of the current and developing applications for this
exciting technology, as well as a looking at "competiting" technologies
such as CoLinux and Xen.


September 18 2004, 14:00, usual place.

No volunteers yet, or at least none committed!
