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! :)
