I think any extra space we can squeeze out is good, if they've already
got something that will do the job then let's just keep it that way.

I think this is our only option unfortunately. Vanta is a really old
chipset.

I don't know of any way to do this. As far as I know you can't really
lock down the grub menu; however kernel updates are fairly infrequent so
let's just make sure they have a fully updated system and that we've
cleaned up their grub menu before we hand the computer over. I would
leave recovery mode though. We might need it later.

quotatool is the package name. It's not a gui but it holds your hand a
little bit more.
