This is an overview of virtualization methods, architectures, and implementations under Linux.

Tim Jones has published a good article that explains Virtualization. It is a broad term that refers to the abstraction of computer resources.

From the article:
Virtualization means many things to many people. A big focus of virtualization currently is server virtualization, or the hosting of multiple independent operating systems on a single host computer.
