I have also thought heavily about doing this sort of thing, for developing and testing and such. My understanding is that there would be very close to having two differant GNU/Linux operating systems running at once, but using only one kernel. Once inside the chroot, BASH would be using tools from /linux2/usr/bin, is that correct?
My understanding of chroot is extremely limited, right now. I have searched around, but can anyone point me to anything specific that they know to be a good tutorial/explanation or how chroot works and what its capabilities are?
