Running UML Instances with runit

Running UML Instances with runit

[Lukas Beeler]

I've wrote a little document about running UML Instances using
runit.

Location:

http://projectdream.org/publications/suug/uml-setup.html

Since a year or so, i have been maintaining my runfiles in
cvs/svn repositories, maybe someone can use them:

Thanks in advance for any feedback ;)

You can run Linux inside Linux. Server virtualization. Reasons
could be security, or sharing one machine with other people (for
example, in a housing center).

I was under the impression that it's POSIX. Goggle supports that belief, 
e.g.:

That is in the Single Unix Specification, version 2 and 3. But some
self-pretending Unix shells, like Solaris /bin/sh do not understand.
