A Simple Question about Kernel Development

[Guilherme Puglia]

Hi,

I'm an undergraduate student and I have a research project. In this
project I have to modify the kernel to support transactional memory.

I will be direct. I was looking on the web about the best way of run
and test little kernels modifications.

In my mind, the best way of do this is use a virtual machine with a
GNU/Linux distribution. But my question is, what the best way?
And how the kernel developers do that?

Thanks for your time,
Regards,
Guilherme Puglia
