It looks like you and the Linux Journal 2012 are five or ten years late. ;-)
UML had it's great years some time ago.

The article describes nothing that is not also doable with KVM these days.
Anyway, UML is fun and nice to use. :-)

Doesn't KVM require the extra VM CPU features?  For older CPU's, I thought
UML was more efficient.

Am I also out of date? :-)

Sure, to run KVM you need a modern CPU (kind of).
Even my netbook supports KVM...

But you can use UML on system where you are not root and the admin has not
enabled KVM for users.
