desktop application containers made user friendly.
arkose is currently made of: arkose: command line utility with c helper arkosegui: gui for integration in the gnome desktop (similar to the run dialog) arkosenautilus: nautilus integration arkosewrapper: wrapper for regular apps to have them start in a container
it basically lets you start any installed binary in a configurable container. you can choose how much disk space you want to give it, if it should have network access and if it should be able to access your /home.changes are stored through copyonwrite using aufs2, so the sandboxed application won't notice it's not running directly on your laptop but you'll be protected from most harm it could make.
