Userland (computing)

This article attributes two different meaning to this "term". First is partially original research (the Jargon File does not state anything about privilege separation, and it is quite unclear what separation the article refers to). Second meaning is unsourced at all. So, there is a dab page Userland where these two meanings should be listed and briefly explained, but this page is not an article and should be deleted. Also, I'm going to remove that link from {{Operating system}} which will help to estimate how this "article" is linked; now that template effectively jams the list at Special:Whatlinkshere/Userland (computing).

Merge/redirect to user space is the obvious solution. I've never seen "userland" used to refer to a user's home directory. Also, privilege separation is a very well-defined concept in operating systems. (PS: if you think that something is wrong with an article, go to the talk page first. Requesting deletion is really unnecessary here) -- intgr [talk] 15:23, 16 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
