I just love Unix/Linux :) With it, the only limitation you have is your
imagination.

I still think that having multiple users is a good idea. Of course it
should be a secondary goal, and development should not focus on this
feature. It could also introduce a lot of headaches (mainly security
problems between the different users), but that's what development is
for.

On the other hand, I'd rather have 20 users using the same mldonkey client
(with user management) than 20 users running 20 different mldonkey
clients, that would consume *a lot* of memory and bandwith.
