+ With FUSE it is possible to implement a fully functional filesystem in
+ a userspace program. Features include:
+
+  * Simple library API
+  * Simple installation (no need to patch or recompile the kernel)
+  * Secure implementation
+  * Userspace - kernel interface is very efficient
+  * Usable by non privileged users
+  * Runs on Linux kernels 2.4.X and 2.6.X
+  * Has proven very stable over time"
