User-Mode Linux for Apple PowerPC G5

[brian at nutthouse.org]

I am familiar with UML on X86 systems. Basically it is a or many "Virtual 
Servers" Meaning systems running UML can give access to accounts on the 
server running UML there own server. It would be like creating a user 
account on a server. But instead of just having a home directory, email, etc 
they will have an actual server of there own. They can log in, install there 
own web, mail, dns, etc and basically setup there own server. This doesn't 
affect the configuration of the "Parent Server" just the individual "Users 
Server". The users do not have any access to the "Parent Server" just there 
own. But when users log in they are presented with what looks like a fresh 
install. Independent servers running on one system. I hope this information 
helps.
