*SKIP*

I don't interpret it as misunderstanding, more like misreading, but see

And rightfully so.  Unfortunately, GUI-people don't keep up with this
discussion.

Did it.  Scripting rules.

Can't say.  chroot(8) is enough for me.

And GUI-people are absent from this discussion.  May be because it's by

cause.
