+Support for Windows is a must. This requirement also includes a simple GUI,

+Depending on difficulty level, OSX support might be added at this stage as well.

 Most likely this integration will require NATS as well, to coordinate cache

-### Web server + interface

-Have every `isle daemon` run a webserver as one of its sub-processes. Status and
-connectivity information for the local host could be provided via a simple web

-needing to develop UIs for individual OSs. This could also make remotely

-The daemon should update the resolver settings of the host, so that it
-automatically serves DNS queries, unless set to not do so in `daemon.yml`.
+### Proper Linux Packages
 
-### Install sub-command

-It would be great to have a `isle install` sub-command which would
-auto-detect the installed operating system and install the daemon automatically.
+Rather than distributing raw binaries for Linux we should instead be
+distributing actual packages, e.g. deb files for debian/ubuntu, PKGBUILD for
+arch, rpm for fedora (if we care), etc... This will allow for properly setting
+capabilities for the binary at install time, so that it can be run as non-root,

 This is how the tests work. Doing this with other OS's will depend on how they
 work.

+Ideally Isle could detect the DNS/firewall subsystems being used on a per-OS

 ### Plugins
 
 It would not be difficult to spec out a plugin system using nix commands.
