+ User-mode Linux (UML) is a port of the Linux kernel to its own system call
+ interface. It provides a kind of virtual machine, which runs Linux as a user
+ process under another Linux kernel. This is useful for kernel development,
+ sandboxes, jails, experimentation, and many other things.
+
+ This package contains the kernel itself, as an executable program, and the
+ associated kernel modules."
