Should work "Out of the box" if the users have been added to the fuse group.

There is one: the linux-image-server image. Keep in mind that people use Edubuntu all over the world, and for now, the default of the standard kernel will support far more systems. And for the lucky ones that have more, the problem's easy to solve. It should, however, be documented in the handbook. I'll look at adding it this go-round. Scott -- Scott L.
