ubuntu debian virtual-machine 64bit 32bit

                          I have a 64-bit (amd64 a.k.a. x86_64) Debian or Ubuntu installation. I need to run 32-bit (i386/i686) programs occasionally, or to compile programs for a 32-bit system. How can I do this with a minimum of fuss?

Bonus: what if I want to run or test with an older or newer release of the distribution?
