Wouldn't it be neat if users without root privileges could just
install packages anyway on their account.
Maybe they could make an entire file tree, (including
/home/nurdsome/home/nurdsome/ ?).
The problem I'm trying to solve is e.g., Dreamhost, where there are 1000

When I connect to my ISP, sometimes I apparently get assigned an IP
address that has recently been used by a P2P file sharing user, hence
there are many sites still trying to connect to it.
Just like "even after the authorities raided the crackhouse, the phone kept
