That's what the Linux 2.6 kernel is supposed to bring.

There *are* some single-instance versions, but they are custom hacks.

The idea is to make it a supported sub architecture so it can be made

Some people believe there is no reason for creating a single-instance of
any OS, and that it is better to have an OS per machine.
