Owl VPS-Hosting

These are some screenshots of Owl-current live CDs for x86-64 and i686 as of 2012/08/18. Owl 3.1-stable (released later) looks similar. The screenshots show how very conservative Owl is, which is an advantage for some of our prospective users, but a drawback for some others.

There are no SUID programs on Owl; there are only some SGIDs

SGID programs, if the concept is used right, are a lower risk than SUID. In fact, many of these programs could be unprivileged, but having them SGID introduces a layer of security separation and deals with some minor and subtle attacks (such as a user bypassing password policy for their own account or mounting a local Denial-of-Service attack).
