JuJu: An Arch-based distro that runs on any Linux distros without root access

Fair warning: Not only does Canonical use this for one of their product names, they have a registered trademark on it. This is a clear clash. I'd suggest changing name sooner than later to avoid pain.

Edit: there's already a bug filled for this: https://github.com/fsquillace/juju/issues/63

This is cool. Curious what the advantages over something like systemd-nspawn? Just easier time setting it up?

Also, ubuntu has a project called JuJu. Could be confusing I supposed. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juju_(software) )

I think I would change the name from juju, Ubuntu had it first.

systemd-nspawn needs root privileges, this doesn't.

Why is this named Juju?

Some ideas:

* If the juju tool changed the dynamic linker path in installed binaries with patchelf, users could run these binaries directly.

* systemd user mode could be useful to manage services

that's really a bigwin. will try in office on monday :-)

Awesome !!
