Are there instructions for an "installation on a dedicated user account"?

In any case, +1 from me for giving out a PGP-terifying alternative

stdedos: re: dedicated user account, that's going to depend on the software, and probably won't do much good for Sandstorm, since it needs a fair amount of access anyway

(I think it's technically possible to run it without root using user namespaces, but it needs a bunch of APIs that we deny grains access to for a reason... so I'd be squeamish about relying on it).
