I'm definitely still a beginner. A chroot would allow me to do this? |
| 14 |
Would I even need VMware in that case? |

What I'd like to be able to do is copy my current Gentoo server system |
| 17 |
over to something (chroot, VMware, UML) and test emerges and |
| 18 |
etc-updates on it to make sure nothing is broken. I would like to be |
| 19 |
able to to test kernel changes, but I can live without it. UML |
| 20 |
actually won't work at all because I use the hardened-sources. |
