As the author of that script, I wonder how I could improve it. What,
exactly, made the Burgiss script easier? AFAIK, my script will work
without modification on a Red Hat Linux system. My entire focus with
that script was to make it very easy to use/configure. To that end, one
only needs to change the variables at the head of the file, whereas you
have to change values thoughout the whole of the Burgiss script in order
to configure it properly. I'd appreciate your thoughts.
(at some point, I had planned on making a friendly UI for configuration
of the above script.)

Exactly why I didn't do that :)
