      Installing JIRA on linux

      Can we please bring this point into the main JIRA installation documentation trunk. Maybe insert it here, at Point 2. ?

      specifically: 

      Creating a jira system account

As JIRA runs as the user it is invoked under, and therefore can potentially be abused, it is a good idea to create a dedicated user to run JIRA. For example under linux:

$ sudo /usr/sbin/useradd --create-home --home-dir /usr/local/jira --shell /bin/bash jira
