There's an entry on freshmeat for it: The user-mode Linux kernel is a port of the Linux kernel to its own system call interface. It runs in a set of processes, resulting in a user-mode virtual machine. It is a nearly fully-functional 2.3.31 kernel, lacking only preemption and kernel modules. Its hardware support includes block devices, a console, virtual consoles, a serial line, and a network device. People who should try it out include developers who want to do kernel development and debugging in user space with gdb, gprof, gcov, etc, anyone who wants to safely try out the latest kernel, anyone who wants to try out new distributions, and the terminally curious who want to poke around inside a running system. It's GPL'd of course.
