I'm definitely still a beginner. A chroot would allow me to do this?
Would I even need VMware in that case?
What I'd like to be able to do is copy my current Gentoo server system
over to something (chroot, VMware, UML) and test emerges and
etc-updates on it to make sure nothing is broken. I would like to be
able to to test kernel changes, but I can live without it. UML
actually won't work at all because I use the hardened-sources.
