Sandbox for Linux
Posted: Sun Sep 16, 2012 2:44 pm
I am so thankful that someone finally has authored a sandboxing software that is affordable. It has cut my cleanup time almost in half, I now only have to respond to user-ignorance cases now.
I am very much a npos-centric (non-propietary operating system) person however and I am always looking for ways to expand my own safety. I was curious though if Sandboxie could be ported for standalone use in *nix systems?
At the moment the solution that I have is a gpgzipped file of my entire home directory that I have to manually run to replace all the artifacts that x-win programs leave behind or creates, a small inconvenience but still an inconvenience partially because it cannot be automated and must be updated frequently.
If I could sandbox even half of the applications that I run, this could considerably improve my life. As it is a school network, I cannot make any special requests to make modifications to the system but if it could be executed with my group and permissions I would be happy with that.
Cheers.
