I keep browsers in both environments. Normally I run Opera (which is |
8 |
32-bit) in the 64-bit environment. For some videos actually you might |
9 |
have some luck with konqueror and/or mozilla-firefox-bin, without need |
10 |
for the 32-bit environment, but to me it's not a lot of trouble |
11 |
running things in the 32-bit environment if I have to, given how easy |
12 |
it to keep Gentoo up to date. The hard work is configuring the chroot |
13 |
as I like it and making it come up and go down automatically, which |
14 |
was a little bit of a programming task. |

There is one use for which I have found a chroot quite useful, which |
17 |
is building non-portage programs 32-bit. Then I can run them just fine |
18 |
in 64-bit, by making links in /usr/local/lib32 to any libraries needed |
19 |
that aren't already in the emul packages. (Plus I have to run |
20 |
ldconfig.) |
