IIRC Linode (or some similar company) used to use User Mode Linux, but switched to Xen for performance reasons.
- anttiok 12y agoA rump kernel is not an OS and it's not restricted to running in usermode. see: http://wiki.rumpkernel.org/Info%3A-Comparison-of-rump-kernels-with-similar-technologies http://wiki.rumpkernel.org/Info%3A-Comparison-of-rump-kernel...
- chubot 12y agoThat page doesn't say anything about User Mode Linux. I ask because User Mode Linux is basically a way of running the Linux kernel in user space on a Linux machine, which sounds like what Rump kernels are. From your response I'm not sure if you got that.
