I actually have a hosting account with a company in Ogden (http://www.webpipe.net/) that uses FreeVSD (http://www.freevsd.org/) to run Linux Virtual Dedicated Servers. It seems that the two work rather differently from reading about each though.. I guess the main difference is that with UML, you have "true" root access.. Not the case with a virtual machine..
I doubt either is "true root" access. Let's see, I'll try editing the nvram on the motherboard, rewriting the flash bios, installing a new bootloader in the mbr and rebooting.
uh.... no.
So the question is what do you need and what don't you? I suspect for most that hw access is not required. Having emulated users/groups, your own IP, and virtual root access will suffice.
