The 2.3.99-pre4 user-mode port is available.
The changes include:
a.out binaries run
the block device shows up in /proc/partitions
the console driver sets its window size
the network driver frees up skbuffs now
all of the remaining system calls are hooked up - the exceptions are things
like modify_ldt and vm86, which don't seem to make sense in this kernel
various other bug fixes
Things that now work include:
telnet now works in both directions
X clients can display both locally and remotely. In the former case, the
local X server is Xnest. Obviously, remote clients can also display on the
local Xnest.
the SuSE install procedure now runs
strace works, gdb doesn't
As usual, the goodies can be had from http://sourceforge.net/project/filelist.p

A new goody is a Slackware install kit, which contains a README and a slightly
modified root disk from which the user-mode kernel will run the Slackware
install procedure. You'll need media, obviously. I used Slackware 7.0.
Other info can be had from the project home page: http://user-mode-linux.source
