Wow, so much weird picky stuff I've never had to deal with in any of the boxes I've ever setup. Nice read.

It's pure 64 so if you want to use 32-bit things like non-free flashplugin, w32codecs, etc you'll need to setup a 32-bit chroot.

The command linux32 will run 32-bit programs under a 64-bit environment won't it?

All that does is make the process believe it's running on a 32-bit machine, i.e. if you run a shell under linux32 and type 'uname -m' it'll return i686. You still need all of the 32-bit shared libraries and crap available for the 32-bit process to actually start.
