If this were my machine, I would definitely not want the script to be visible in any way to the user. Especially I would not want it to be shut down. I would want the user to be online as much as possible in order to keep tabs on it. Of course I would never own an iMac either. I know there's some work being done on linux BIOS programming, maybe we will see some great abilities of a computer BIOS in the future. How cool would that be?
What's with the sorcery and cast commands. And calling "packages" "spells" Sorry, but it's just too cheesy for me, even if it was the best system out there. If it's gonna take a whole weekend, might as well do all the optimizations yourself... if you need the automatic updates, CVS and cron work pretty well.
