</div>I am curious to know why you are advocating a virtual machine — by which<br>
I envision something like a KVM or VMWare VM — rather than just using a 32-bit<br>
chroot?<br>
<br>
Personally, I can't see anything but drawbacks to the former approach, but<br>
perhaps I am missing something?<br>
<br>
