Is there a Sandboxie-esque configuration or application for Ubuntu

"I found an article similar to what I had seen before:

Create a Linux user sandbox with chroot and unionfs

Now I just need to figure out"

"Chroot jail
Here's a good page on it"

"I think that you were thinking about something like DebootstrapChroot

The experience is going to be much more manual than your windows experience."

I just stumbled on a fairly recent project called Arkose, which is like a simplified Sandboxie. As well as cli, there is a gui and a plugin for Nautilus. And a PPA if you use Ubuntu. I tried it out and it seems okay, Chrome wouldn't work in it for me but Firefox and Opera did.
