On the Linux side, has anybody looked at what installing Dropbox does?

I'm guessing it's not going to be different from what it does on a Mac, but it would be nice to know exactly...

If you ctrl+f through the thread for Linux, I think I remember someone mentioning that it just runs in userspace without root.

It runs entirely on userspace, and as non-root.
