Awesome Ricardo!

A word of warning though: if you are on amd64, take care if you 
uninstall the emulator and run apt-get autoremove to automatically clean 
the dependencies, this will break your system.
If you are in that case, a way to recover:
1. reboot and eventually press shift to get to grub
2. press e to edit your command line
3. on the line "linux <...>", remove "quiet splash" and replace with 
break=bottom
4. press F10 or Ctrl-x to start, you will be dropped in the initramfs 
busybox
5. mkdir /mnt
6. you need to know your FS layout and mount /dev/<your root partition> 
in /mnt
7. cd /mnt/lib64/ && rm ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 && ln -s 
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.17.so ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
8. reboot

I'm updating as we speak the wiki page with those infos

Thanks to infinity and jibel to have helped and tried in a vm while my 
system was broken
Cheers,
Didier
