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 |
| 18 |
to run your browser? Or do you run a 64-bit browser? The only real |
| 19 |
thing that I am missing is the ability to see a video in Firefox such as |
| 20 |
the movie trailers at Apple, etc. |
