UML (User Mode Linux, user-mode-linux.sf.net) is a port of Linux kernel to Linux used as an underlying platform. UML kernel is built as a normal user-level executable, that is run on a "host" machine, providing "guest" Linux instance. You can log into guest, run processes there, attach debugger to it, etc. It's more like vmware than jail. UML is a part of 2.6 mainline.
