That sounds pretty good to me. I'm sorry to persist, but I'd like to |
| 16 |
make sure this will work for me before I delve in. |

What do you mean by "just about everything"? All I really need to be |
| 19 |
able to do is browse the test version of my website and make sure |
| 20 |
everything is working OK after making the changes. Ideally, |
| 21 |
everything in the test version of my OS would be working exactly the |
| 22 |
same way as it does in the live version. What would the differences |
| 23 |
be with this chroot setup? For example, with VMware, the hardware is |
| 24 |
virtualized so you can't be sure there won't be hardware issues with |
| 25 |
the live version. |
