Red Hat in a chroot (on Debian)

[Andrew Pollock]

Hi,

I've got some proprietary commercial software that has to run on Red Hat 
7.3, and I was originally considering running this inside VMware on a 
Debian host operating system.

I saw another post that suggested running Red Hat in a chroot instead of a 
VM, and I'd like to explore this option.

Has anyone done this? Does anyone have any pointers on how to go about it? 
I suppose I should go off and do some Googling now.
