Very interesting script !
I see you did not go into everything for unexperienced users to be able to use it quick and easy. Is that on purpose ?
I am asking because your point is 100% correct : The power of minnows is very underestimated and underused.
I may be able to modify (add step by step configuration ) the script and make a tutorial on setting it up so unexperienced users may use it.( also on windows)
If you think that is something you'd like let me know.
