put some confidence in your users

[Scott Ringwelski]

make sure that the user is confident in installing these sandboxes by:

presenting a friendly GUI
telling the user how the program works
assure them that no changes will be saved (right?)
tell the user why sudo access is needed
assure that the user can cancel the operation at anytime
give feedback (what is being installed) during the installation

sudo is needed to install required packages for chroot environment, you can undo what glimpse has done by simply deleting ~/.glimpse. It doesn't touch your main system

Great! put that right in the application and explain that to the user.

Great! Do you plan to direct all your users to this page to tell them that then?
