Hi!
This depends on what you want to do. I recommend using a user mode linux
system if
you want to test not-so-stable kernel versions/features
it requires turning the userspace upside down in a way you don't want
you don't want to reboot the whole pc to test a new kernel
Otherwise you can configure your boot loader to show a menu with both your
stable kernel and your test kernel. But be aware that uml can alter benchmark
results.
