here is a neat option: www.linode.com These guys
are using UML (user mode linux) to put multiple
Linux images on a server. You can pick your
 own distro (Debian, Fedora, Slackware, RedHat, etc.) and set-up multiple partitions. You get
(actually set) the root password, and you have
almost total control of the machine

Actually I'm pretty sure this is what nks does. UML
is pretty sweet and I saw Ian give a very nice demo
quite a while back at one of the LUG meeteings. I
still have some trouble understanding all of
settings and such but hopefully will have more time
devoted to figuring it out very soon. On that note,
 has anyone else been using UML that could answer
some very (embarrassingly) easy questions? Or a
better idea would be if anyone was interested maybe
having a little UML primer at one of the LUG
meetings? Just a thought.
