UML sounds like it might be worth a shot.  As far as the chroot goes, I
never used gentoo that way.

What do you do for a browser?  Do you have to chroot every time you want
to run your browser?  Or do you run a 64-bit browser?  The only real
thing that I am missing is the ability to see a video in Firefox such as
the movie trailers at Apple, etc.
