Sorry, didn't really answer the question. Yes, virtualization means one host and multiple guest OS running at the same time each in their own virtual machine. Therefore multiple Linux kernels.

Cool. Thanks
 
M$oft anounced it's gonna take them another week+ to release a security patch.
The business community is reported as outraged.

Some options for true virtualization under Linux -

1. vmware
2. Xen

Probably running a browser under a separate user id is pretty safe. Maybe in a chroot(2) jail - not sure I haven't tried it.

When the new CPUs come out Xen will probably support Windows and other OS as well as Linux. Free.

Thanks

We use it in two different ways ....

The most basic use is to allow virtualized OS test configurations on the same server.

The other application is a bit more esoteric and related to some of our numerical software.
