The only way that I like a shared directory is if it is mounted from a filesystem with the "noexec" flag. I think that the software installation can be made easy with the help of a better "Add/Remove Programs", and the security aspect could be enhanced with the help of a SELinux policy for this program(s) (I am not an expert in SELinux, so I could be wrong) > > I am a member of the Ark Linux team, who is interested in seeing the Linux > desktop become a viable option.
