Not much of a tutorial, but...
If you're running Debian (or something Debian-based like Ubuntu) running 32-bit Windows applications is pretty easy, though performance obviously is not the best. There is no need for chroot, no complications. Simply...
  • add i386 as a foreign arch (and update APT repositories afterwards):
    Code:
    dpkg --add-architecture i386

  • install the following packages:
    Code:
    wine wine32:i386 qemu-user qemu-user-binfmt

Now, I haven't been able to get Windows binaries execute by installing wine-binfmt the way I've been able to do that on amd64, but simply doing
Code:
wine <app>.exe
works well enough for me, allowing to run some not too resource-hungry applications that don't have suitable Linux replacements like Calculators 3000
