Virtualization allows you to run several "seeming-as-if" (virtual) computers on one computer. This can help you
- to work in several isolated VPN environments on one computer
- to test several Linux distributions running at the same time on one computer
- for developers, to test "dangerous" changes like on the login manager or the boot sector
- in big companies, to take best use out of your computing resources
