I may as well be the only one who has used it. ^_^ Actually, I've read about a small trickle of users here and there scattered across the web who have `claimed` to have used it. There are also html/video tutorials out there which mention it. I don't remember the exact links as I made the initial mistake of rushing through installation the first time without spending time with it and doing it correctly.

Live and learn, I won't make this mistake again in future installs. :)
