Have you tried to just chroot into another one?

For _a_ test environment, that's fine. But not for running multiple simultaneous test environments, or giving away root accounts.

Are you saying that you can't open up multiple CLIs and run chroot in as many simultaneous instances as memory and diskspace allow?

Sure, but instances of what? Processes not kernels. You couldn't for instance test the setup of a high availability cluster...

Well for high availability cluster emulation I would recommend using the King of VMs. IBM z390/Linux. ;')

Chroot is fine for running services under a low privilege account in a jail. It isn't a cure-all.

Very true.

With UML I can give anyone I wish a root account on their own virtual Linux box...

Sounds pretty good.
