http://www.filehippo.com/download_sandboxie/ It's a great application [ for windows... :\ ] Are there any programs under CentOS, that has the ~same features? To be specific: The user could launch a program [e.g.: Google Chrome] inside this sandbox, and when he/she exits Google Chrome, all the changes that Google Chrome did is "undoed". + Google Chrome is in a sandbox, so it can't "see"/read the files of the user!

If you are going to be doing lots of them, make sure there is a local mirror and yum --installroot with a few bits from /dev being cp'ind into the right place is about all one needs to create an isolated environ. if its just a case of running apps, this would be all one needs. - KB
