I have been using PlayOnLinux to run windows programs on Linux. PlayOnLinux creates a virtual drive for each program installed and every VD represents a different Windows XP computer.

Any changes made by the program stay within its own VD only. So if I run a program with a virus I can simply delete the program's VD and all is well.

Is there a similar program that allows Linux programs to be run in a virtual drive? i.e. I want PlayOnLinux/Wine minus the windows emulation.

wine is not a sandbox; it just so happens that Windows applications don't try to break out onto the system. – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams Jan 10 at 7:27
