Here, no chroot at all. I am using nspluginwrapper for flash and
konqueror and Java for applets. I installed the IEview extension for
Firefox, so I can readily open any page with Java applets on Konqueror
(konqueror does not need the plugin, but the java machine itself but I
am not sure how safe it is). Even IE4linux runs on wine-amd64 (debian
lenny). All others 32 bits applications such as Skype run with the
multilib approach.
