Well, Virtual Private Servers is another technology that is not quite
a fully virtualized setup, but I believe that's the jist.
User-mode linux is a kernel booting as an application, and runs
everything under it's own memory addressing.  The end result is a
fully virtual machine running as an app with a nic of it's own and
(virtual) console of it's own.
I use it alot at work, it's very handy to split a server into several
machines. (ala vmware, but free, and not OS independent)
