[ale] gui design is crap

[Jim Kinney]

yep! That's on my list.

As soon as I get the system up and 3 VMs loaded and running. Need to bang
some issues with freeIPA and CentOS 6 vs CentOS 7 (FreeIPA 3.3 is not
getting back-ported to CentOS 6.5 - yet )

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you gain
at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his own tail.
It won't fatten the dog.
