OwL is a little like this. _Very_ restricted environment. The reason for this is that all of the source code has been audited by the distributor, so if you trust the distributor, you get a known-good system, even if it is limited in usability. I run OwL on a disk backup server, it works great. I'm glad I don't have to spend most of my working time in that system, however. Thanks for expressing some good viewpoints, Andreas. I agree with some and not with some others, but in any case I'm glad you have such clear vision, in both senses of the word! :) //Peter
