That sounds pretty good to me. I'm sorry to persist, but I'd like to
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
able to do is browse the test version of my website and make sure
everything is working OK after making the changes. Ideally,
everything in the test version of my OS would be working exactly the
same way as it does in the live version. What would the differences
be with this chroot setup? For example, with VMware, the hardware is
virtualized so you can't be sure there won't be hardware issues with
the live version.
